Building from the Inside Out: How CAMP Mental Health Began

In this special solo episode, CAMP Mental Health founder Dayna Haig-Conway shares the personal journey that shaped the CAMP framework and the deeper motivation behind her work.

From outdoor education and behavior intervention to school counselling and clinical practice, Dayna’s path has always centered around one goal: helping others feel full from within.

She reflects on:

• Why traditional behavior strategies often miss the mark.

• How unmet needs drive motivation and resilience.

• The moment she realized “fixing” specific behavior wasn’t enough.

• What it means to build both children and adults from the inside out.

• How the CAMP Certification Program now empowers coaches across Canada to teach this framework in their own communities.

Dayna also shares how motherhood, self-reflection, and her “give back” family roots continue to fuel her purpose—and why true resilience begins with understanding our needs before adding more strategies on top.

If you’re part of a school, nonprofit, or parent group, CAMP offers workshops that return 5% of proceeds back to your organization.
