My name is Yvonne Abitong, I joined the Mental Health and Addictions team at the Sagamok Community Wellness Department as an Addiction Counsellor 3 years ago. A year and half into my role I was given the opportunity to service our community as my current role; Mental Health and Addiction Intake Worker. My role with intake is to interview the client on their needs and wants in MHA also to offer and/or explain how the MHA department can connect to outside organizations as needed. August 4th will be three years joining this team. I have learned so much in this position and the knowledge and wisdom that I can share with my community – empathy, build personal and team resilience and give people the tools to understand how to help and support themselves and others. I graduated from the Community and Justice Program at Cambrian College in 2020.
