Public Health Insight
A Public Health Mentorship Program Shaking Things Up in Canada
It started with an eye condition, a laptop, and a growing sense that public health professionals deserved more support. What came next? A mentorship model shaking things up across Canada.
In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Carly La Berge shares the story behind the Canadian Public Health Hub, including its triad mentorship model, how she’s keeping it inclusive and burnout-free, and why she believes mentorship should be accessible, flexible, and community-driven.
She also reflects on the lessons from an early failed attempt at mentorship involving $500 worth of uneaten pizza and makes a compelling case for why more public health professionals should step up as mentors.
