– Psychological Services are at the Polyclinic daily from 9 – 8 and can be found anytime outside of that as needed.
Given that this is a new role for the medical team, we will be providing some information on how this role might add value to the work you are doing at the games.
If you have any additional comments or questions, please contact the Head Psychologist, Dr. Adrienne Leslie-Toogood (204.229.4390, adrienne@cscm.ca) at anytime.
Who is a Psychologist and why are they part of the medical team at the Canada Games?
A Psychologist is someone an athlete can talk to in order to help them sort things out and make sense of their experiences. When speaking with a psychologist, they will work to listen and understand the athletes’ perspective without judging.
