I came to Dialogue for help with my mental health and I’ve been directed to other resources - why is that?

Dialogue cares deeply for the well-being of our members, and our mental health services include a specialized needs assessment to determine whether your issue is within our scope of practice and the eligibility of your access plan. Where this is not the case we will work to ensure you are directed to an external provider who can provide the appropriate care for your individual situation.

Dialogue’s mental health services are based on short-term, goals-based treatment, and matched to members according to the severity of their symptoms. Some individual situations require specialized treatment, longer term attention, and/or must be done in person, in which case these may fall outside of our scope of practice.

Our scope of practice has been determined by a committee of medical experts in order to respect safety standards in virtual consultation and to correspond to our service offering.

In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, Dialogue became the first virtual care provider in Canada to be certified by Accreditation Canada in 2022, earning the Basic Accreditation award. Accreditation Canada serves as the third-party validation of our safety and quality of care. As of March 2025, Dialogue is proud to be the first and only virtual care provider accredited with Exemplary Standing.
