Marie-Pier Mazerolle is in her 4th year of her bachelor’s in psychology at the Université de Moncton in Moncton, N.-B. Passionate about wellness and mental health, Marie-Pier volunteers with Kids Help Phone as a Crisis Responder (CR) and as a peer mentor at her university through the “Mentorat Etudiant” program, which helps first-year students navigate the many ups and downs of the post-secondary transition. She is also a member of the Frank McKenna Center for Leadership, which she will be undergoing a mentorship and community intervention project.

As she aspires to be a professional in the mental health field one day, Marie-Pier’s main motivation is giving back to the community that helped shape the person that she is today. Being a French Canadian in a language minority environment, she has witnessed first-hand the many challenges encountered when trying to access French resources. Marie-Pier is passionate about making resources accessible for youth all over Canada so that they can get the care that they deserve. She is also currently Co-chair of MDSC’s National Youth Advisory Council.
