Mental Health Support

TELUS Health (formerly LifeWorks) is uniquely positioned to leverage our experience in delivering employee and family assistance programs, absence and disability management solutions, and health and benefit plans as well as consulting services to build and implement a workplace mental health strategy to address the cost, and the risks that impact productivity and employee engagement. We apply the expertise of our entire organization to develop innovative mental health solutions. Mental health issues account for 30% of all disability costs, but studies show that taking effective action produces results: A 15-33% reduction in psychological health costs is achievable when effective and appropriate policies and programs are implemented.

AbilitiCBT is Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) guided by a professional therapist through a digital platform accessible anywhere.

AbilitiCBT combines the convenience of virtual access with the same benefits of in-person therapy to provide meaningful mental health support to people struggling with a variety of conditions, such as anxiety, depression, pain management and many others.

AbilitiCBT also includes a program specifically designed to address anxiety symptoms related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with content tailored to its uniquely challenging aspects: uncertainty, isolation, caring for family and community members, information overload and stress management.
