The presentations by Dr. Marie-Claude Geoffroy and Marie-Chantale C\u00f4t\u00e9 raised awareness with our guests regarding the value of a good mental health for women and the tools available to organizations for promoting it among their employees. The inspiring testimonial from Chelsea Cuffaro reminded us of the importance of resilience and hope in living with psychiatric disorders. Guests also enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Le 9e, adding a culinary touch to this memorable event.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the enriching exchanges, each participant had the chance to take home a gift bag offered by Clarins and a sample of tea from Firebelly Tea, adding a pleasant touch to the experience.<\/p>\n<p>We also want to express our gratitude to our valuable partners who supported this event. A big thank you to our main partner SunLife, as well as our bronze partners: Banque Nationale, RBC, and Fasken.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming initiatives and continuing to
