Amelie Degorce

I am Amélie, French by origin, I came to settle in Quebec over 15 years ago. I resumed university studies in psychology, criminology and mental health. The Human and its complexity attract and fascinate me. 

​

I have been working in the field of mental health intervention since 2006. I have had the chance to work with a diverse clientele, from drug addicts to federal prisoners, to soldiers medically released from the armed forces. Like everyone else, I experienced hard times. Indeed, I even went through a major depression. Good came out of it, because this event put me on the path to help employees on sick leave. I now have the feeling that people feel that I understand them, which is a constant confirmation that I am in the right place.

Launching l'Escalier

 

In 2019, I got tired of compromising on my values and decided I had enough experience to offer my services as a freelancer. I have always seen mental health as a continuum on which we sometimes have to climb a few steps to regain balance. As you might have suspected, there was a metaphor at the origin of l'Escalier, which means the Staircase in French. 

 

From the start, I had the chance to see my services retained by insurance companies. Since then, I have been entrusted with more and more mandates to help people mobilize towards a return to work, people who generally suffer from mental health problems largely dominated by mood and anxiety disorders. The staircase has developed and we are now about ten people passionate about helping relationships, working day by day to help people find balance and well-being.


If you are experiencing symptoms of psychological distress 

 

Today, we are having some success helping people struggling with depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders get back to work.  We now want to open our services people who are experiencing psychological distress. We seek to join those who are at work and suffer in silence. 

 

To do this, our first tool is this blog dedicated to psychological distress which will deal with what you feel (Fatigue and nervousness, difficulty making decisions, negative thoughts, difficulty concentrating, difficulty making decisions, loss of appetite , etc.) and concrete ways to get out of it (good lifestyle habits, learning to set limits, acquiring strategies to manage your energy well, learning to question your negative ideas, etc.).

 

It's an outstretched hand.
