Portage Participates in Recovery, Mental Health and Addiction Event in Kahnawake

The day was marked by strong community engagement and meaningful conversations. Portage representatives had the opportunity to connect with a variety of community partners and service providers, including Dr. Stéphanie Marsan of the CHUM, members of her team, and other stakeholders working to support individuals and families affected by mental health and substance use challenges.

These discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration between healthcare institutions and community organizations in strengthening support networks, improving access to care, and promoting recovery.

We were also encouraged to hear many positive comments about Portage and the impact of our programs. Participants expressed appreciation for the services we provide to individuals and families throughout their recovery journey.

A special thank you goes to Kara Diabo, Coordinator at Kahnawà:ke Shakotiia'takehnhas Community Services (KSCS), for her leadership and dedication to mental health and addiction awareness. Her commitment to building meaningful partnerships helps expand access to resources and contributes to reducing stigma within the community.

Portage looks forward to continuing its collaboration with partners in Kahnawake and participating in future initiatives that support health, recovery and community well-being.
