Samantha DeLenardo joins from CAMH, Canada's largest mental health teaching hospital and leader in mental health research

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2021 / Novamind Inc., (CSE:NM)(OTC PINK:NVMDF)(FSE:HN2) ("Novamind" or the "Company"), leading mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, today announced the appointment of Samantha DeLenardo as Vice President, Communications to lead Novamind's communications, marketing and investor relations.

Ms. DeLenardo has spent most of her career in the healthcare sector and has proven expertise in communicating the strategic priorities of large and complex healthcare organizations. She joins Novamind from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Canada's largest mental health teaching hospital and leader in mental health research. During this time, she managed internal and external communications, led the successful implementation of the online COVID-19 and mental health resource hub, and co-authored the hospital's latest strategic plan with senior leadership.

"At Novamind, we care deeply about the clients and families we serve," said DeLenardo. "We are prepared to meet this transformative moment for psychedelics and mental health, thanks in large part to the courage and years of advocacy by people with lived expertise and medical practitioners. Novamind understands both the responsibility and opportunity before us, and I look forward to sharing the Company's story with the world."

Ms. DeLenardo's experience leading high-performing teams, nurturing relationships with key stakeholders and navigating healthcare systems and allied services will be critical in supporting Novamind's U.S. expansion strategy for clinics and research sites. She will also provide key leadership to the Company's social purpose initiatives by leveraging her humanitarian experiences as the co-founder of a national charity for post-secondary student-athlete mental health.

Yaron Conforti, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Novamind added, "Samantha is a strategic addition to our management team.
