Chantale Stjean

With a life journey marked by realities such as violence, drug addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and sexual exploitation (1991–2018), I have been able to transform these experiences into levers of resilience and social commitment. For several years, I have been actively involved in supporting marginalized individuals, with an approach grounded in empathy, active listening, and authenticity.
