Julie Bélanger,
our spokesperson!
We are so proud to announce that Julie Bélanger has spontaneously agreed to be the spokesperson for Tel-Aide Montréal. She says she is honored to take the torch for the continuation of Ms. Janette Bertrand, who was a key figure in Tel-Aide Montréal’s reputation during its 50 years of existence.
We are privileged to be associated with a woman of such genuine and generous heart. Our cause is close to her heart, and her professional background shows this. Reading her book “ÊTRE BIEN” has helped us discover her and allows us to admire her humility and her greatness of soul.

“Talking about mental health is a mission close to my heart, because I am convinced that to take care of oneself, we must first name our discomforts, and put them into words to recognize them.
Tel-Aide Montreal is, in that sense, more than an essential service to me! To be listened to, to break isolation, to be able to confide in someone, it can make all the difference in someone’s life!
I am honoured to be able to, in my turn, shine a light on Tel-Aide Montreal and perhaps help people who are suffering. Because we all have our storms to get through, but sometimes it takes an ear, a kind word, to feel supported to keep going.”
