Philippe had a good life with his wife and two children before depression took everything away. He lost his job and <\/strong>then his family, his belongings and his apartment. La Casa Bernard-Hubert<\/a> helped him get back on track, feel at home, recover from depression, and take back control over his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy name is Philippe. I\u2019m originally from France, but I\u2019ve lived in Quebec for many years. I moved here because I fell in love with the woman who would become the mother of my two children. I am an electrical mechanic and always worked until depression hit me.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely, my symptoms gradually became a daily misery. I couldn\u2019t work and lost my job. I had many anxiety attacks every day and was exhausted all the time. My problems ended my marriage and broke up my family. I had to pay for my apartment by myself with little income. I went to a food bank near my home before it closed temporarily because of the pandemic. I had to choose between paying my rent and buying food. I’m alive today, so that means I didn’t pay my rent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter a series of late rent payments, a bailiff evicted me from my apartment. I found myself on the street with nothing but a backpack and some underwear.\u201d <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police officers referred me to a shelter. I then went to the shelter services at La Casa Bernard-Hubert. I met men who all had similar stories. I especially managed to let go of my burdens, relax, and find some peace. I always wanted to overcome my depression. The staff at La Casa Bernard-Hubert reassured me, supported me and helped me bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter spending many months at La Casa, I left the housing service and I am starting a new training program. I\u2019m so proud to say that I am finally taking back control of my life.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
