Aretha McCarthy

Violence Prevention Expert | Mental Health Specialist | Community Advocate

With over 15 years of immersive experience in combating mental health, gun and gang violence, I bring a profound understanding of trauma-informed, culturally responsive strategies to prevent and intervene in community violence. My expertise lies in addressing the root causes of violence through a comprehensive focus on the people, places, and behaviors that drive it.

As a dedicated community professional, I have a proven track record of collaborating with diverse stakeholders to develop and implement effective policies that enhance community safety and improve the social service sector, particularly within under-served and low-income areas. My work is characterized by a deep commitment to leveraging policy to foster positive change and provide actionable advice to organizations.

I have been honored with several awards recognizing my leadership and impact, including the Community Leadership Award from Seneca College 2022, the Community Leadership Award from United Way and the Federation of Black Canada 2024, and a nomination for the Women Empowerment Leadership Award 2024. My contributions extend to pivotal roles such as serving on the City of Toronto Poverty Reduction Advisory Committee, the Community Gun Violence Committee and the United Way Black Community Advisory Committee.

My background is further strengthened by extensive experience in management, a tenure at the federal courthouse, and a solid educational foundation, including a BASc in Social Justice, a specialization in Police Foundations, and a post-degree in Public Administration. I am also a certified mental health specialist, which complements my approach to holistic violence prevention and intervention.

Driven by a passion for creating safer, more equitable communities, I am committed to employing my skills and experience to foster meaningful change and support those who need it most.
