Intake Manager

Dayna McPhail is the Intake Manager for the Program.

In this role, Dayna receives referral forms from primary care providers. And she calls referred moms and parents to schedule their first counselling appointment.

Dayna is the initial contact person for the program.

She is the person to call if you are a medical clinic with questions about the program or a referral. And she is the person who contacts eligible parents to schedule a first counselling session.

After the first session is booked, a parent’s contact with the program shifts entirely (or mostly) to their perinatal counsellor. This means that a parent who needs to change a scheduled appointment will contact their counsellor to make the change.

Even after a counsellor becomes the main contact for the program, parents are welcome to call Dayna at any point. Think of Dayna as your backup person should an issue or question come up in our communications, scheduling or the services we provide.
