About Maureen

I’m a workplace mental health consultant. I help business owners and leaders recognize and respond to signs of mental health concerns and substance misuse on the job. My company provides practical training for managers and supervisors, equipping them with skills to spot early warning signs, respond with empathy and connect workers to the right resources. I work with employers across high-risk industries to create safer, more supportive work environments.

My passion for this work is deeply personal, as I am an overdose loss survivor. In 2022, my son who was a skilled welder, died due to substance misuse. I know firsthand the pain of losing someone who was deeply loved. I also know that treatment works – when people access it – and leaders often play a key role in making that happen. This lived experience fuels my mission to equip leaders
and supervisors with the tools to proactively identify when a worker is struggling and take timely action that can truly make a difference in your organization as well as the lives of your employees.

I’m passionate about sharing my enthusiasm for employee workplace wellness. Through training in behavioural health, I’m able to identify problems in the work setting and offer powerful solutions to restore calm & boost productivity at work.

I am a licensed mental health professional, a corporate trainer, a coach, and a certified crisis counselor for businesses. Early in my career, I lived and worked in Paris, France, while working for both American Express & IBM. This experience piqued my interest in working with the corporate population & eventually led to studying how workers manage stress and how they can stay resilient during tough times.

Name, Normalize and Navigate is the latest training I have created for managers and HR professionals. This will allow you to identify employee behaviours, create a safe psychological environment for frank discussions and examine options and accommodations.  All too often leaders intervene too late resulting in the loss of a good employee. This is an ethical guide for business owners and HR professionals.

If you are an employee or a manager of an employee with an invisible or “hidden disability” I can help with assisting individuals with invisible disabilities.
