Carepath’s Mental Health program was designed to promote prevention and early intervention for mental health issues, including acute mental illness and chronic mental health conditions. The program provides timely access to confidential support for those who need it, as well as return-to-work planning for members on sick leave or long-term disability.
The Mental Health program is committed to addressing gaps in access to community-based mental health services. This means all members will have:
Member / Spouse and Dependent Child(ren) over the age of 12
The Mental Health Program helps members and their families suffering from mild to severe mental health disorders, as well as those struggling mentally or emotionally due to another health condition or life event. The program provides psychoeducation and counseling to members and their families, providing multiple levels of support and guidance using distance technologies such as telephone and virtual resources (mobile app, email, and secured video call).
This program provides two levels of intervention: navigation and counselling/psychotherapy.
The Mental Health Program is designed to complement broad healthy-workplace strategies and community based mental health services, and to address gaps, improving the timeliness of service delivery. This is made possible by offering solutions that promote prevention and early intervention of mental health issues, acute mental illness, or chronic mental health conditions.
Members and their families can access the Mental Health Program at any time. The diagram below outlines the process that you can expect when accessing the mental health support program.
The Mental Health Program teams of highly trained and skilled psychologists, social workers, and advanced practice nurses know the different types of therapies that work better for different people – and for different issues. The program provides a range of different evidence -based psychotherapies, which can be tailored to each member’s needs:
The Mental Health Program offers a range of online educational tools/materials/ modules to support members with emotional wellbeing. These include self-management /information tools and facilitated programs to be used in conjunction with navigation or psychotherapy.
Mind Zone is one resource available within your Mental Health Program. It is a facilitated iCBT (Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy) designed for mild to moderate levels of anxiety and depression, delivered using mobile technology (iOS and Android). The program is supported by a minimum of 4 sessions with a mental health clinician over the course of the 8-lesson intervention. The research is clear that facilitated, internet based CBT is cost-effective, accessible, convenient, and clinically effective.
A structured return-to-work (RTW) component is provided for those on sick leave/LTD that addresses planning for RTW and maintaining wellness after RTW. In this regard, we liaise with insurers who may share RTW responsibilities.
