Since the onset of COVID-19, the mental wellbeing of Canadians has suffered—underscoring the need for better access to treatment resources. Fortunately, there are new and innovative treatment solutions available to mitigate the pandemic’s impact on mental health.
A Canadian first
During a Benefits and Pensions Monitor Meetings & Events webinar, Travis Kelly, our Regional Director, Business Development in Ontario and Chris Anderson, President of Medaca Health Group, described the integrated virtual psychiatry and psychotherapy service we provide to disability claimants with a mental health diagnosis— one that’s considered the gold standard in mental health care. This model of care is a first for the Canadian marketplace.

On average, it takes six months to start treatment by a psychiatrist in urban areas and 12 months in non-urban areas. This means highly treatable illnesses such as depression and anxiety are left untreated, prolonging recovery and a healthy return to work. Through our partnership with Medaca, and early psychiatric intervention, treatment can begin 8 days after a referral is approved.
