Delannoy states, “I’m really passionate about youth engagement and working with adolescents”. She says she believes the primary issue that needs to be addressed around the globe among youth is mental health.

According to Delannoy, “there are different stigmas against mental health care in cultures around the world, and we need to figure what the barriers are and how to address them.”
