The Who
Hi, I’m Kristy Joy Chaisson, Founder and Director of Faith & Macaroni. My professional journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Alberta and led me into some of the toughest corners of youth care—high-needs group homes, locked facilities, and working with kids and teens facing incredibly hard situations, including three years working with children involved in prostitution. Those experiences opened my eyes to the urgent need for prevention and empowerment long before kids reached a crisis point…
The Why
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: all people can succeed in building connection with one another given the right tools. Our workshops and training exist to equip parents, kids, and professionals with the skills, confidence, and support they need to grow, connect, and succeed. Our core values guide every decision, program, and partnership—shaping the way we show up for families and ensuring we stay true to the purpose behind our work.
The Kudos
Because the best stories are told by the people who lived them.
“Kristy trained me for things I didn’t know I needed to know. The scenarios happened in real life, and I knew exactly what to do.”
— Linka, Kids Day Camp Coordinator
“Training with Kristy is always so educational. She is able to blend her lived experience and personal stories into the information she provides to ensure people leave her training with a well-rounded understanding of the topic. Her energy and knowledge makes her an engaging instructor and I always look forward to learning from her.
— Emma, Kids Program Leader
“I love attending Kristy’s training sessions because she makes learning truly engaging through stories and discussions. She breaks down complex concepts into practical, easy-to-understand examples, which helps me apply them confidently. When Kristy explains something, it sticks with me for the long term.”
— Naomi, Youth Manager
