Mental Health Awareness and Communication Series
Encompas Mental Health Wellness Program
March 23rd, 2022 – 1000 – 1100 ET
Featuring Mary-Anne Bilodeau and Jacqueline Sbeyti from OPP Beyond the Blue
About the Speakers:
Mary-Anne brings a wealth of knowledge and lived experience. In 2017 her husband of 10 years, OPP Detective Constable Stephane Bilodeau died by suicide after a silent battle with mental illness.
Jacqueline grew up in a policing family and is married to a police officer. She has experienced life in a northern/remote community and understands the importance and value of a social network within ‘blue-line families’ when it comes to maintaining mental wellness and coping with the stresses inherent within First Responder relationships and families.
About the Session:
Please join us on Wednesday March 23rd from 10am – 11am for a conversation with Mary-Anne Bilodeau and Jacqueline Sbeyti from OPP Beyond the Blue. They are hoping to connect with OPP families who are looking for support, trusted resources, and a community of support. The session will discuss what led to Beyond the Blue and creating a chapter, benefits for families to connect with other families, why it’s important for First Responder family members to have an awareness of the resources available, supports that family members often need, and what to look for when seeking support.
