Meet Lael Aucoin, our Social Worker at the ALS Society of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia! 💜
Lael Aucoin is a Registered Social Worker with the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers and the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers, providing psychosocial support to individuals and families living with ALS. With extensive social work experience, Lael brings a strong background in advocacy, case management, crisis support, and working alongside individuals and families through complex and life-changing circumstances.
In her role with the ALS Society, Lael supports clients and families as they navigate the emotional, practical, financial, and relational challenges associated with an ALS diagnosis. She is committed to providing compassionate, person-centred support while helping individuals identify their strengths, make informed decisions, access resources, and maintain quality of life throughout their ALS journey.
Lael's practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and anti-oppressive approach. She values building trusting relationships and creating a safe space where individuals and families can express their concerns, process difficult emotions, and explore what matters most to them.
