Starting today, all people in Canada, regardless of where they live or their age, can access immediate virtual mental health and substance use support with the launch of Wellness Together Canada, a historic initiative launched through a joint venture with Stepped Care Solutions, Kids Help Phone and Homewood Health, supported by Green...space Health, in response to growing mental health concerns with the escalation of COVID-19. Wellness Together Canada has been made possible with the vision and leadership of Health Canada, in particular the Minister of Health, Patty Hajdu, and the Deputy Minister of Health, Stephen Lucas. A one-stop shop online portal, Wellness Together Canada provides a stepped care model offering services that range from immediate crisis support if needed to mental health screening and self-assessment tools, peer-to-peer support, educational resources, e-courses, access to virtual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and access to counselling support by phone, text or live chat. The initiative is the first and only online platform of its kind offering immediate mental health and substance use support to all people in Canada in every province and territory in English and French.
