Teenage Mental Health

The following link leads to a short film made on Teenage Mental Health with DIFD (Do it for Daron) and The Royal Ottawa Hospital.   

Five inspiring people share their story about depression, suicide and youth mental health.

Very inspirational: "Our Kids Matter and it's worth talking about." by Stephanie Richardson - Mother of Daron

Medical centres, health information

There is a CLSC (a kind of clinic you can get injections and your kids get the one and three-year evaluations) in Quyon, but you can't just walk in for medical help-- you have to have a referral or appointment, I think.

But there is a lot of health information available there, so it's a good place to visit all the same.

CLSC de Quyon
1164 rue Clarendon
819 458 2848


The info health line (Info Sante) for Quebec is 811.
It's a good place to go for advice before heading to the hospital.

Hopital du Pontiac Hospital
200 Rue Argue
Shawville
819 647 2211

There is a doctors office in Quyon -- Dr's Lamarche, Crouteau and Bazil, I think. You can call to see if they are taking patients if you need a family doctor, but I don't advise you to get your hopes up.
