Become an EHC Mental Health Partner

Create a Ripple Effect of Care

Canada is in the midst of a mental health crisis, but for an increasing number of people, support is out of reach. By becoming an official referral partner with the Edmonton Healing Centre, your organization, team, and clients can be an active part of the solution to expand access to care.

A partnership with the Edmonton Healing Centre (EHC) supports your team and strengthens the safety net for those who face barriers to mental health care. As a nonprofit, we provide high quality counselling at lower rates for everyone, and we also provide free and low-cost therapy for those who can’t afford it.

Every referral unlocks access to mental health care for someone else in need

Double your organization’s mental health impact

For every full-price counselling session accessed through benefits, EHC can provide no-cost and low-cost counselling to someone else in need through our nonprofit impact model.

Your staff and clients can feel good about taking care of their own mental health while also supporting the mental health of their community.

Employer Partners

71% of Canadian employees say that mental health affects their ability to work. As an employer, you can remove barriers to the mental health care your team needs to show up as the best versions of themselves each day. No matter your industry, make sure your staff are taken care of.

Reduce your insurance premiums

Our below-market rates stretch your employees’ benefits plans further, meaning you can reduce your insurance premiums while they access more sessions, get better outcomes, and face fewer financial barriers to healing and mental health care.
