announced in a $2.5M Digital Technology Supercluster Project to deliver personalized mental health tools for frontline healthcare workers
Summary
Led by Starling Minds, one of Canada’s leading online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) platforms, the project will deliver to healthcare organizations an engaging, scalable, cost-effective, and proactive suite of digital mental health tools. We are honoured to be a chosen solution to help make mental health as common and accepted as physical fitness,” says Peter Oxley, Chief Executive Officer at Starling Minds. Approximately 80% of healthcare workers within Starling’s COVID-19 program found that the digital CBT therapy tools help combat stress, anxiety, and worry during pandemics. By using personalized and digitally-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) available on-demand, Starling helps to overcome barriers that prevent most people from seeking mental health support – cost, access, and stigma. In addition, the program will build expertise and capacity to anticipate and address issues that may arise in future health crises, from healthcare to a return to work and community.
