The MHCC wanted to highlight \u201c&#8230;tremendous possibilities for new technology in promoting mental health and preventing mental health problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyboard-621830_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3927\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyboard-621830_640-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"keyboard-621830_640\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a>The definition of e-Mental health? The MHCC defines it as \u201c\u2026mental health services and information delivered or enhanced through the Internet and related technologies\u201d which includes \u201c\u2026telephone, videoconferencing, web-based interventions, interventions using mobile devices, patient monitoring sensors, social media, virtual reality and gaming.\u201d I think that about covers it! <em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In thirty-six easily accessible pages the MHCC provides us with an excellent snapshot of the state of e-Mental health in Canada. It\u2019s interesting to see just how far we have come in the past few years in this regard.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The paper discusses the ways in which all of these technologies are transforming the mental health system, looks at key considerations, opportunities and challenges for different populations in Canada, ethics and how to integrate technology into existing services. The paper also includes the MHCC\u2019s vision and recommendations for e-Mental health in Canada. As they say, \u201cThe opportunities for the advancement of e-Mental health in Canada are enormous, as are the potential benefits for all Canadians\u2026.it\u2019s an important opportunity toward positive change.\u201d I agree.<\/p>\n<p>On the MHCC site related to e-Mental health you can find a video on Distance mental health services that showcases the Strongest Families Institute. While it\u2019s not the way I provide online counselling it does highlight some of the benefits of doing counselling or coaching online.<\/p>\n<p>The MHCC has also set up \u201ccollaborative spaces for e-mental health\u201d. Clicking on the link will take you to a section of the website where you can see what others are saying about a variety of E-mental health topics.
