Danielle de Moissac
Danielle de Moissac is a full professor with the Faculty of Science of the Université de Saint-Boniface in Manitoba. Her early professional experience, first as a nurse and then in basic research in physiology, led her to pursue doctoral studies in physiology at the University of Manitoba. Today, she leads a research program in health and access to health and social services in French for minority Francophones both in Manitoba and elsewhere in Canada. Since 2005, she has been conducting studies of youth, seniors, people of immigrant background and LGBTQ2S persons.
Dr. de Moissac recently received funding from SSF to set up a diagnosis and referral program for at-risk postsecondary students at three postsecondary institutions in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northern Ontario. The aim of this program, developed following a study of the mental health and risk behaviours of young adults in five Canadian universities, is to identify students in need early in their postsecondary career and refer them to support services on campus and in the community. A research study, funded by the Consortium national de formation en santé, will measure the impact of the initiative. Dr. de Moissac’s other projects include participatory action research with nursing students and with Francophone LGBTQ2S teenagers, with the objective of identifying these young people’s needs in the educational setting and developing interventions to improve their well-being.
