Behind Mentalia: Our Journey, Our Evolution, and the Mission That Brings Us Together

Behind every company are people, experiences, and, more often than not, an idea that evolves through learning. Mentalia is no exception.

Our story is that of a team that has learned to listen, challenge its assumptions, and turn every experience into an opportunity to build a more useful solution for organizations.

A Journey That Began at Concordia

Our entrepreneurial journey began at Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business, where we developed our interest in entrepreneurship, management, and workplace mental health.

It was in this environment that our first idea took shape and that we began turning what we were learning into a real business venture.

Concordia gave us the opportunity to learn, experiment, and refine our vision as we encountered new challenges. Then, in a meaningful full-circle moment, the university published an article about our entrepreneurial journey one year later, in May 2026.

Seeing the institution where our journey began share the story of our evolution was an especially meaningful milestone for us.

Dans l’œil du dragon: A True Turning Point

While our company was still known as TaskiesPro, we had the opportunity to present our project on the Quebec television show Dans l’œil du dragon.

At the time, our business model was different from the one we are developing today. TaskiesPro was primarily a platform designed to facilitate access to workplace wellness services. We entered the studio ready to share our vision, introduce our company, and, of course, convince the Dragons.

We did not leave with an offer, but the experience gave us something equally valuable: a new perspective on our project.

The questions and feedback we received encouraged us to take a step back. What problem did we truly want to solve? Where could we create the most value? How could we build a solution that was useful, sustainable, and adapted to the realities of Quebec organizations?

Our appearance on the show taught us that entrepreneurship is not about holding on to an initial idea at all costs. It is about listening, challenging your assumptions, and having the courage to change direction when the market points toward a better path.

From TaskiesPro to Mentalia

Following this period of reflection, our mission became clearer.

Throughout our conversations with managers, human resources professionals, and psychosocial risk specialists, one need came up repeatedly: organizations want to better protect their teams’ psychological health, but they do not always know how to structure, centralize, and document their approach.

The requirements can seem complex. Tools are often scattered across different systems, while follow-ups involve multiple files, documents, and stakeholders. As a result, it can be difficult to maintain a clear overview and demonstrate which actions have actually been implemented.

TaskiesPro became Mentalia in response to this reality.

This name change represents much more than a new logo or visual identity. It reflects a profound transformation of our company and a renewed focus on our mission: helping organizations make workplace mental health a structured, measurable, and sustainable part of their management practices.

Today, Mentalia is developing a platform that centralizes every stage of psychosocial risk prevention, from assessment and action planning to ongoing monitoring and documentation.

A Solution Built Around Real-World Needs

Mentalia’s development is first and foremost guided by real-world needs.

Through our conversations with organizations and psychosocial risk specialists, we have gained a deeper understanding of the challenges teams face: limited time, complex processes, scattered information, and the difficulty of maintaining consistent follow-up.

Our goal is not to create just another piece of software, but to provide a solution that genuinely simplifies their day-to-day work. That is why we are developing Mentalia in collaboration with experts and pilot organizations. Their feedback helps us continuously improve the platform’s clarity, ease of use, and relevance.

Trust Is Built Over Time

We know that workplace psychological health cannot be taken lightly. It affects employees, managers, and the organization’s entire culture.

For us, supporting an organization begins with listening.

Every workplace has its own realities, risks, and level of progress. Our role is not to impose the same process on everyone, but to help each organization structure its own approach with greater clarity and confidence.

Our company has evolved significantly since its beginnings. One thing, however, has remained constant: our commitment to creating a meaningful impact on workplace mental health here in Quebec.

Our story is still being written, but every step brings us closer to our goal: helping organizations turn intentions into action and build healthier workplaces, one step at a time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Mentalia is committed to becoming the leading platform for Quebec SMEs, helping them navigate and comply with the psychosocial risk requirements of Act 27 with ease. By doing so, we aim to support healthier workplaces, help organizations avoid potential penalties, and expand our impact across the province.

We firmly believe that every organization deserves to feel supported, informed, and empowered to protect its employees’ mental health. That is why we continue to innovate and improve our services to meet the specific needs of Quebec businesses.
