Mental Health Estrie has news to share!
With spring around the corner, Mental Health Estrie (MHE) is excited to share what is new and upcoming; something for now and something to look forward to!
Welcome Tori!
First and foremost, MHE is delighted to welcome our newest staff member, Tori Bourinot. She received, in May 2023, her Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Applied psychology and fine arts from Bishop’s University. Tori joined the team as a practicum student, then a community mental health worker and now, she is our very own Information and Referral Coordinator.
Are you looking for information about a certain mental disorder? Are you searching for a psychologist who offers services in English? Are you trying to help a loved one living with a mental illness but you are not sure where to start? Tori is just a phone call away (819565-3777). She will be able to help you in your search and guide you towards the resources that best meet your needs.
