From November 29-December 5, CMHA Algoma joins organizations across the country in recognizing Digital Health Week, which acknowledges how digital health is transforming the delivery of care across Canada.
As the COVID-19 pandemic challenged traditional care models, service providers in mental health and addictions in Ontario had to adapt to these new and ever-changing circumstances to ensure that they could still deliver quality care to those who need support. As a result, CMHA branches across the province developed innovative practices and processes to overcome technological barriers and get Ontarians the care they need.
When it comes to virtual care, CMHA Algoma offers the Virtual Walk-In Counselling Service. This service is available for children, youth, families, adults, and couples. Appointments are available on Tuesdays, where the session will be provided by telephone or video conference. Contact CMHA Algoma’s Central Access and Information at (705) 759-5989 or 1 (855) 366-1466 on Mondays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to schedule an appointment. If Monday is a statutory holiday, please call for more information on scheduling an appointment.
CMHA branches across the country also operate online courses through Recovery Colleges, which provide a variety of mental health courses free of charge. Recovery Colleges are designed to be supportive learning environments, where everyone is welcome regardless of their mental health goals. Learn more and find a college near you on the CMHA National website.
