Prof. Montreuil is a Scientist at the Research Institute of 㽶Ƶ Health Centre, a Regular Investigator of the Research Unit of Children’s Psychosocial Maladjustment (GRIP), and a Full member of the McGill Centre for Research on Children and Families (CRCF). She is a recent awardee (September 2021) of the regarded Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist Program (CCHCSP), now renamed which offers an interdisciplinary mentorship to early-mid career researchers working on improving child health and well-being in the perinatal medicine and pediatrics. She has gained recognition as a child well-being (i.e., emotion regulation, stress and anxiety), and parenting expert for the work that she leads in prevention and child development. She is also an editor for the Paediatrics & Child Health, the only peer-reviewed paediatric journal in Canada that is published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Canadian Paediatric Society.
Prof. Montreuil's areas of expertise include the promotion of well-being, social determinants of mental health, prevention - early intervention and mental health literacy / advocacy. More specifically, Montreuil's current research aims to improve the health of families during pregnancy, and into early childhood to promote and optimise child development.
During her implementation of the universal emotion regulation school-based program called Healthy Minds, Healthy Schools that she developed with one of her graduate students, it became evident that working with young children required working with parents. This naturally led to the development of a complementary parenting program called Parenting C.A.R.E. which has been facilitated throughout the province in both English and French. Montreuil’s current work focuses on developing resilience and well-being in expectant parents through a perinatal intervention, , which she helped create and develop with a team of Canadian researchers at the CHU Sainte-Justine. She is also the Principal Investigator of the Montreal Antenatal Well-Being Study, one of the largest studies in Canada seeking to better understand the combination of factors making some women more likely than others to experience anxiety and/or depression during (and after) pregnancy.
As a licensed member of the Quebec Order of Psychologists and a credentialed member of the Canadian Association of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapies, she has held a private practice with children and family, focusing on cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness approaches. She has published in several peer‐reviewed journals and has been a lecturer at several international conferences. In 2013, Prof. Montreuil was awarded the title of "Champion" in Mental Health in the "Research" category from the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health and was more recently included in . She currently holds several grants from provincial and federal funding agencies in support of her research which encompass child development, pediatrics, and perinatal medicine.
