Improve Access to Mental health

On a monthly basis, the Waterloo Wellington LHIN holds a mental health “Café”for discussions and information-sharing on the management of mental health cases. The program has been expanded to include French-speaking psychologists and to make it accessible either in person or via telemedicine. The Cafénow invites members of the Francophone community to meet with a French-speaking psychologist to discuss various topics and share best practices when dealing with difficult situations or challenging cases. Although Waterloo Wellington is one of the fastest-growing and increasingly diverse regions in Ontario, it is not a designated area under the French Language Services Act.
