“Over 2.3 million Canadians who seek mental health treatments reported that their needs were unmet due to financial barriers, lack of awareness of services and social stigma.” - Mental health services in Canada: Barriers and cost-effective solutions to increase access.

At SABI Mind, we are committed to reducing barriers to access, increasing accessibility and breaking down the stigma associated with mental health challenges.

This is why we have created the Equitable Access Program (EAP). The EAP provides discounted chronic pain and mental health services for historically underserved, underrepresented and low-income patient populations.
