MIKE APORIUS / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Del Redmond is a social worker with more than 25 years of experience working for several child welfare agencies in Winnipeg and Kenora as well as serving as a mental health worker in northern Manitoba First Nations. A year ago, he spent three months as a youth treatment worker at the Behavioural Health Foundation in Selkirk where two women workers were assaulted. The attack shocked him. But he described working conditions as “toxic” and characterized the treatment as “glorified babysitting.” June 02, 2016
