      We are happy to announce that today, the Government of Saskatchewan repealed the temporary emergency regulations related to remote execution of certain documents and wills and replaced those regulations with permanent regulations allowing for remote execution of documents via electronic means (i.e. video calls) to continue long-term beyond the end of the public emergency period.

Law Society of Saskatchewan Health and Wellness Wellness Together Canada

Wellness Together Canada

The following is a statement from Homewood Health: 

On April 15, 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood in front of his home and declared to Canadians that they are not alone. That day, the federal government launched a program called Wellness Together Canada  to provide mental health and substance use support to all Canadians suffering from the impacts of the coronavirus crisis. Encouraging Canadians who may be feeling stigma associated with asking for help, the Prime Minister went on to say “It’s not easy to deal with everything happening around us. It’s important to not feel embarrassed. If you need the help, what’s important is that you get the help.”

Funded by Health Canada and supported by Patty Hajdu, the federal Minister of Health, Wellness Together Canada provides an online portal that allows Canadians to access self-assessments, self-directed e-mental health tools, peer support and live counselling by telephone, video and text. Homewood Health, Kids Help Phone (a national crisis and mental health support service for kids based in Toronto), and Stepped Care Solutions (a firm committed to developing better delivery models for mental health treatment based in St. John’s NL) came together in a joint venture partnership to submit a proposal that was ultimately selected to design and deliver this innovative service to Canadians. Greenspace Health was selected by the partnership to develop and manage the portal. Homewood’s role in the partnership is to provide telephone triage services as well as free telephonic and video counselling sessions to people in need from all across the country, 24 hours a day. Anyone in need or who wants to talk can access the service at https://ca.portal.gs/ or at 1-866-585-0445. Click here to view the press release.

This program is not meant to replace the employee/member assistance services that your employees or members receive from Homewood.  I’m sharing this message for a couple of reasons… first, so you continue to be aware of what we’re up to here at Homewood. We have implemented dedicated phone lines, and we’ve hired a significant number of dedicated resources to support this program, so access to EAP services will not be impacted. Second, if you feel inclined to share among your own networks including with your clients and customers if you think there is value, we would appreciate your assistance in sharing the message.

Finally, thank you again for your continued support and trust through this very challenging time. We are here for you, and for your employees or members and the people they care about. Please don’t hesitate to reach out should you have any questions.
