As Digital Health Week draws to a close, we're reflecting on the importance of care that's connected, equitable and accessible. Digital care has the potential to make mental health care more widely available. To better support our clients and their different preferences for communicating with the helpline, over the years we've expanded our helpline offerings to include live chat and a JEM®, a chatbot. We know the importance of connecting with a human, and we'll continue to expand our use of technology in thoughtful ways to support clients who feel that better meets their needs while being there for you when you want to reach a helpline worker on the phone or live chat.
