Introducing our new CEO, Sharon Amirault
In March of 2021, after a nation wide search, Sharon Amirault took on the role as Chief Executive Officer with Family Plus. Sharon was well aware of the important service that Family Plus provides prior to joining the team and was excited to be part of the reputable organization during a time of significant change and growth. “Joining a well established mental health organization during a national pandemic and in the midst of opening a Child and Youth Advocacy Centre brings challenges and opportunity, and I am excited to navigate these alongside the clinicians and administration at Family Plus”. Sharon brings to the organization over 25 years of experience leading change and a wealth of knowledge of the community.

"My daughter and I both received therapy at Family Plus. As a single Mom, having the subsidized sessions was vital to our mental health. At that time in my life I could not afford much and our mental health would have gone uncared for. Our counsellors at Family Plus truly cared about our well being and mental health. I did not feel judged and felt like I had a really safe place to talk about anything. I gained self confidence and the ability to take control of my life.”
