System Navigation

System Navigation Support

Are you involved in one or more of the following systems?

  • Criminal Justice
  • Family Court
  • Child Protection
  • Healthcare

Brightside Integrated Health’s founders, Brian MacAulay and Lauren Brady are seasoned social workers with decades of experience working within these systems and as such, we can help clients navigate and better understand the sometimes confusing, or intimidating systems they may be involved in.

Record Suspension Application Support

Is your old criminal record standing in the way of you achieving your goals?  A Record Suspension (also called a Pardon) effectively removes a barrier to education, employment, volunteer and housing opportunities.  A Record Suspension can also provide peace of mind and restore a person’s sense of dignity and self-worth.

Lauren Brady has four years’ experience supporting clients through the record suspension application process and has helped dozens of clients to receive their Record Suspensions.

The process entails assessing eligibility, explaining the steps and associated fees, guiding the client through each step of the process, answering questions, troubleshooting complications that may arise and assisting with completing paperwork and documentation and ensuring that your Record Suspension application package is complete, accurate, and ready for submission to the Parole Board of Canada for review.
