A proud Nova Scotian and trailblazer in e-mental health, SFI's Co-Founder and CEO and recently named one of Atlantic Business Magazine's Top 50 CEO's, Dr. Patricia Lingley-Pottie, recently met with Tim Houston to celebrate the honour and highlight Strongest Families Institute’s continued growth.

From creating jobs here at home, to exporting our life-changing services across Canada and beyond, SFI is leading the way in pediatric and family e-mental health care.

Our award-winning, cost-effective programs have been adopted in other provinces and countries — and we hope to see them more widely available right here in Nova Scotia, so even more families can benefit.
