Mentallys Named Finalist for ADRIQ’s Social Innovation Award

We are proud to announce that Mentallys has been selected as a finalist for the Social Innovation Award presented by ADRIQ.

This nomination rewards years of dedicated work by the Chaire Diament (on whose behalf the project is selected) and marks a significant recognition by a leading jury for a project rooted in a real and pressing social need.

An Inspiring Distinction

Organized by ADRIQ (the Association for the Development of Research and Innovation in Québec), the Prix Innovation Gala is the most prestigious event in the Québec innovation ecosystem. For over 30 years, it has honored organizations and projects that boldly and effectively transform society through research, technology, and vision.

“Mentallys was born from a clear need: improving access to mental health care through the potential of digital technologies. Being recognized today by ADRIQ is a strong signal that socially driven digital innovation rooted in research has a rightful place in the major transformations of our healthcare system”, says Stéphane Vial, founder of Mentallys.

What It Means for Mentallys

• A recognition of Mentallys’ transformative potential to rethink access to mental health care.
• A validation of the quality of the work carried out by our community, committed for years to a collaborative and rigorous approach.
• A powerful lever to foster interest and trust from implementation partners, as the solution enters its real-world experimentation phase.

See You at the Gala

The winners will be announced at the Prix Innovation Gala, held on November 27, 2025, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. We warmly thank ADRIQ for their trust and the entire Mentallys community for its steadfast commitment.

No matter the outcome, this nomination is an honour in itself, as it confirms the 2025 turning point for Mentallys — a project steadily transitioning from research and innovation to social impact.
