Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association Launches National Digital
Campaign Emphasizing Accessibility of Quality Mental Health Care in Canada
Ottawa (November 25, 2019) C Leading into National Addictions Awareness Week, today the
Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) launched its inaugural national
digital awareness campaign, #TalkingCanHelp. This three\part video series features interviews
with four mental health professionals including a Counsellor, a Psychotherapist, a Psychologist,
and a Social Worker. It aims to ignite discussion and generate awareness of the quality of
mental health care that is currently available for Canadians.
Centred around the themes of addiction, anxiety, and depression, the digital campaign can be
seen on the official CCPA Facebook and Twitter accounts, and website, talkingcanhelp.ca.
The message at the heart of this campaign is that talking to a qualified mental health care
provider is an important step in receiving help for a mental health issue or illness, said CCPA
President Dr. Jenny Rowett. Mental health care professionals across a variety of disciplines
share many similarities and strengths. We have the opportunity to reduce wait times and make
care more accessible for all Canadians by expanding services and benefit plans to include cost\
effective options like counsellors and psychotherapists.
The video series gathers together a Counsellor, a Psychotherapist, a Psychologist, and a Social
Worker and asks the following question: How would you treat someone with
addiction/anxiety/depression? Each professional independently describes and agrees on a
similar process for how they would assess the individuals issue, collaborate with them on a
treatment approach, and establish an individualized short\ and long\term wellness plan.
As mental health care professionals, we are stronger when we work together and understand
that there is more help available to everyone, said CCPA President Elect Dr. Kathy Offet\
Gartner. CCPAs hope is that this campaign will encourage those affected by mental health
issues \ personally or by a family, friend, or colleague relationship \ to seek the help they
otherwise may not have thought possible.
