This week on The Book of Love Podcast, we sat down with Jennifer Calkin, a Masters Level Social Worker registered in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and home province Nova Scotia with 13 years of experience working in both private practice and a charitable organization supporting families of first responders. Both mental health professional and single lady, Jen is here to share her inspiring story and discuss ways to care for your mental health.
