Introduction: Aworie Canada is a social enterprise that strives to cover a portion of the cost of private mental health counselling for disadvantaged populations in Ontario who experience economic barriers and/or do not have an extended healthcare insurance plan. Currently, the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) does not cover the costs of psychotherapy; thus, we aim to fill the gap in mental health care by collecting funds from grants and fundraising campaigns to subsidize costs for our target clients. Our Vision: We will be an innovative leader in equitable and accessible mental health counselling services for Canadians. Impact of Subsidized Mental Health Counselling: Integration of psychotherapy into primary care could result in a 20% to 30% decrease in medical costs. If Ontario scaled up early interventions, mental health promotions would reduce the burden of disease and public costs. Expanding access to psychotherapy is another evidence-based solution to overcoming the burden.
