Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 6–12) is a reminder that early support and accessible care make a real difference.
Across Canada, benefits providers are expanding mental health options, including new practitioner categories like psychoeducators, psychiatric nurses, behaviour analysts, vocational guidance counsellors and sexologists. These additions help employees access more specialized care when they need it most.
There are also ongoing changes in how preventive diagnostic imaging can be accessed in some provinces. Coverage still depends on each plan, so employees should always confirm what’s included before booking private services.
For those looking to learn more about mental health pathways and support options, we’d like to invite you to Mental Health Connect by EHN Canada, offering practical guidance on navigating care and understanding available supports.
