Krista Mackinnon

Krista’s entrepreneurial spirit led her to create Families Healing Together, a first-of-its-kind online psychoeducational platform designed for families of individuals struggling with mental health issues. As the CEO and founder, she successfully secured funding and partnerships with international organizations, including an Australian mental health group and local governments, to provide online programming. Her work resulted in recognition as an Emerging Best Practice by SAMHSA and featured in Psychology Today. Krista’s impact was felt on a global scale, as the platform reached families worldwide and supported their recovery processes. She also received a $34,000 grant from the University of Northern Colorado to further develop her program, demonstrating her ability to attract financial support for meaningful initiatives.

Before her work in business development and entrepreneurship, Krista had a distinguished career in mental health support. She worked with the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Family Outreach and Response Program, where she provided recovery-oriented support to families dealing with early psychosis. Krista’s dedication to family support continued as she developed and delivered curriculum for mental health recovery at the Krasman Center, a government-funded nonprofit organization. Her experience in direct mental health support led her to develop expertise in solution-focused brief therapy and psychosocial rehabilitation, making her an expert in recovery and mental health education.

Krista’s educational background includes a Social Work Diploma from Mohawk College of Applied Arts & Technology and several certifications related to mental health, including Psychosocial Rehabilitation in Mental Health from Humber Institute and a Certificate in Mindfulness Professional Training from the University of Toronto. She is also trained as a yoga therapist and is a certified yoga teacher, which has allowed her to integrate holistic approaches into her professional practice. Krista’s diverse qualifications, combined with her extensive experience in the mental health sector, position her as a leader committed to advancing mental health recovery and support through innovative solutions and community-driven initiatives.
