Complimentary women’s mental health support now available
We’re offering two hours of free virtual therapy for women that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
Canadians are reporting mental health challenges more than ever, with racialized Canadians and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community being disproportionately affected by barriers to care, according to our recent report, GreenShield Cares About Women’s Mental Health Report.
GreenShield Cares’ women’s mental health program offers two free hours of virtual therapy to Canadian residents who identify as women aged 18 and older. These sessions can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
This offer is open to your employees, friends, and family. If you know a woman who would benefit from our complimentary women’s mental health program, we encourage you to share this opportunity with them. They don’t need to be a GreenShield plan member to access this offer.
The program provides the following support:
- Two hours of free, private virtual therapy with a certified mental health professional who respects and understands unique cultural and lived experiences.
- A complimentary one-year subscription to online coach-guided cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) to assist in reducing and managing symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety and/or depression.
- Access to an online wellness hub with resources that support mental health.
