She has provided peer support facilitation for MDO\, PSO (Psychiatric Survivors of Ottawa)\, OCO (Ontario Caregivers’ Organization)\, and Kind Space (LGBTQ2S+ Community Centre). She is also part of the OHT-CPT (Ottawa Hospital Team – Client/Partner Table) and the OHT-MHSU sub-committee (OHT – Mental Health and Substance Use) as well as the Patient Navigation working group. Recently she was a member of the Advisory Committee for the OCO’s storytelling project “Sharing for Change”. She also participated in the “Elder Queer” history workshops hosted by the NAC. \n\n\n\nKathleen has also been involved with WCC’s Write On! program and two of her short stories were published in the 2022 Front Lines anthologies. \n\n\n\nRoman (Ro) Dineen (they/them) \n\n\n\nOttawa\, Ontario \n\n\n\nRoman Dineen (they/them) is a trans non-binary and gender fluid person living in Ottawa.
