Where Are We Going?
We aim to expand services across Canada and around the world. Our conviction that neither time nor distance are barriers will guide how we deliver our services to those in need. We will continue our evolution and growth as an innovative approach to bridge the access gap.How Will We Get There?
Technology plays a significant role. Our sophisticated e-system, IRIS (IRISplatform.com), offers flexibility in the provision of care and our ability to rethink health care delivery. Our highly trained staff record real-time data, making information easily accessible, anytime, anywhere. More importantly, our success is based on results. Our model is proven to deliver strong outcomes with low dropout rates.
Designed as a waitlist strategy for health agencies across Canada, SFI can quickly help reduce wait times for clients seeking mental health supports for mild to moderate conditions. Our programs are rooted in two decades of scientifically proven research. Our strong outcomes are demonstrated from strong historical data.
