Shelley Watt Proulx

Shelley Watt Proulx joined Sagamok Anishnawbek late in 2022 as the Director of Mental Health and Addiction. Shelley has more than 25 years of experience in the field of mental health and addiction treatment, and holds a Master's degree of Social Work. She began her career with the Elliot Lake Family Life Centre as a youth addiction counsellor and has also worked with youth in custody facilities and Children’s Mental Health before taking on the Executive Director position at the Counselling Centre of East Algoma. Shelley, despite being in management, was adamant about retaining her clinical expertise, and carried a small client load throughout her time with the Counselling Centre. She is keen to expand on the numerous areas where the Mental Health and Addiction team at Sagamok excels, by building up services that are both easily accessible and of the highest quality. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please get in touch with Shelley as she is extremely willing to listen and learn from the community!
