About Us

Our Team

The Stella’s Team is growing as we develop programs and engage young adults as facilitators and peer supporters. We are committed to hiring staff with a diversity of experiences, and assertively hire young adults with lived experience of mental health issues. Our core organizational competencies are the basis for our hiring process, and we have an energetic, compassionate team. Each team member is committed to values-based practice, working collaboratively, with flexibility, and pioneering to create bold and responsive approaches to change the landscape of young adult mental health.

Staff Voices

“Stella’s Place means to me an opportunity for new thinking, fresh ideas and an alternative way of doing mental health.”

Shawn Pendenque

Peer Support Training Mentor

“One thing that Stella’s Place will also do is bring mental health treatment to the community and make it more accessible. And I think a critical part of recovery is also being comfortable in what you’re doing or comfortable with what you’re involved with and sometimes the clinical setting is not one that engenders this kind of comfort. So what Stella’s Place will do is circumvent that gap.”

Asante Haughton

Peer Support Training Mentor

“It’s a great privilege to be part of a stellar group of young leaders and staff with such a diverse range of experiences. Each person is passionate about working together in a different way to make change. Our peer supporters and facilitators are leading the charge.”

Jenny Carver

Executive Director

“It's awesome to see a mental health service embracing technology. So many young people live their lives online, it's awesome that a place like Stella's Place wants to serve them there.”
