Understanding People and Systems Under Pressure
Delaine Bennett, RSW, is a Calgary-based social worker and consultant who helps individuals, families, and organizations understand how stress, relationships, and environments shape human behaviour.
Drawing on more than 20 years of frontline experience, her work connects insights from family systems theory, trauma-informed practice, and stress physiology to help people make sense of how individuals and groups adapt within the systems they operate in.
Her approach is practical, grounded, and informed by real-world experience across families, schools, and workplaces.
