Chaired by Dr. Karen Cohen (CPA CEO), the Psychotherapy Policy Implementation Network (PPIN) under the auspices of the Mental Health Commission of Canada – recently released a report The Time is Now on how to increase access to timely access to publicly-funded psychotherapy via targeted federal funding. The report identifies two options: (1) a National Psychotherapy Fund that would provide a fixed annual amount of federal funding to the provinces and territories to expand coverage for the assessment, diagnosis and/or treatment (i.e., psychotherapy) for mental health disorders that are not currently reimbursed through the public system; or (2) a National Psychotherapy Program that would provide a fixed annual amount of federal funding to the provinces and territories for an administered program (similar to the IAPT program in the United Kingdom) that provides expanded access for the assessment, diagnosis and/or treatment (i.e., psychotherapy) of mental health disorders.
