Accessing mental health and addiction services in Northwestern Ontario can be hard. Technology can help, and we want to know more!
What are we looking for?
Tell us how technology supports your employee’s well-being by sharing health insurance booklets and Employee & Family Assistance Program with us. If your company has additional mental health and substance use support, please feel free to include them, too.
Why should you be part of the study:
Our goal is to help employers and employees identify technology-based behavioural health supports that are (1) supported by scientific research and (2) better fit for their work environment and lifestyle. We are happy to share our findings with you once we complete our study.
We hope you will be part of our study and help improve behavioural health support for hundreds of thousands working in Northwestern Ontario.
