Engineering Local Wellness Advisor (LWA)

Hi, I am Virginie, your Engineering LWA. I am a licensed mental health clinician embedded within the Faculty of Engineering. I have an extensive background, recently I worked and lived in the Inuit community for two years. You can think of me as a wellness expert and a liason between the Faculty and Student Services.  I am available for one-on-one meetings and skills-based wellness workshops.

Additional resources:  Students can reach out to the Wellness Hub site to book an appointment with a Local Wellness Advisor should you wish to meet with a mental health professional 1:1 to discuss your wellness needs and engage in support here: https://www.mcgill.ca/wellness-hub/get-support/local-wellness-advisors OR by calling the wellness hub directly to schedule a meeting @ 514-398-6017.
