Monica Theysen, 62, has been working at The Raw Carrot at the Innerkip site since August 2019 when it first opened, and she hasn’t had a bad day at work ever since. Monica shares how difficult it is for someone like her, with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and fibromyalgia, to find suitable employment that takes into consideration her challenges. She thrives in a supportive work environment that accommodates her need for a low-stress and encouraging environment. She’s worked in various jobs over the years, from the military to counsellor’s assistant for a retraining program for people on welfare, and teacher’s assistant, but this is her favorite job in a long time.
