Take a Weight Off Your Shoulders: Ami-Québec
Manage episode 322213288 series 3324439
At the beginning of the pandemic, Montreal-based mental health support and advocacy group, Ami-Quebec, put their services online. This meant that English speakers from outside the metropolitan area can now have access to their programs - and this includes people in the Mauricie and Centre du Québec. In this episode, hosts Emily Vidal and Julie Miller speak with Marc Griffin and Tony Alfonso of Ami-Québec to find out the story behind Ami-Québec and some of the innovative ways they have been helping out. What sort of programs do they offer? What are their Facebook live "Hot Topics" all about? And how can they take a weight off the shoulders of friends and family trying to help someone who lives with a mental health problem? As you'll hear, Ami-Québec has been working for over 40 years to reduce stigma, and to remind you that you are not alone.
