Welcome to Darcy Patrick.com
Huge things are happening in 2025!!
My Creative Writing for the Mind, Body & Soul course is now part Hamilton Health Care!
​
Starting in January of 2025 I will be running this class for both inpatients and outpatients.
​
This is one of my greatest accomplishments for 7 years I have been working with community partners to teach this class on my own, offering it free to the public because I feel Mental Health courses need to be offered to everyone and without cost. We need to treat Mental Health the same as we treat Physical Illness.
​
I have been overly successful in teaching all of my courses, all of my work shop’s. I have created over 42 hours of teaching material since my first book was published in 2016, teaching over 2000 students my tool’s to help with their over all wellbeing.
​
Working as a Peer Support Provider at St Joe’s is a dream come true, giving back to people everyday seeing their faces change, their lives progress and supporting them along the way fills me with joy and provides purpose in my every day life.
​
To be teaching my course at this amazing Hospital is a mile stone for me and I can't wait to see what else is coming in the future.
