Affordable Mental Health Support for Nurses and Nurse Practitioners

Nurses and nurse practitioners spend their careers caring for others, often while managing significant demands in their own lives and work.

 

Seeking support when you need it isn't a sign that something is wrong. It's one way of maintaining your own wellbeing so you can continue to show up for the people and communities that depend on you.

 

Whether you're navigating stress, burnout, a major life change or simply looking for additional support, help is available. Through NNPBC's partnership with Advica Health, nurses, nurse practitioners and their immediate family members can access fast, confidential virtual mental health support.

 

Sign up today so support is ready when you need it.

 

What's Included

Cost and ease of access shouldn’t be a barrier to getting support when you need it. That’s why this program provides confidential, virtual therapy for nurses and nurse practitioners at a significantly lower rate than the typical cost of counselling services in BC.

 

As part of this program, you and your immediate family members can access:

• One complimentary hour of individual therapy and couples therapy
• Ongoing counselling sessions for $90/hour
• Therapy appointments often available within one business day
• 24/7/365 bilingual support from clinicians and nurses
• Self-guided internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT)
• Access to therapists with a wide range of specialties, backgrounds, approaches and languages
• Culturally safe virtual mental health services provided by Indigenous care providers for Indigenous people
• Children's mental health support through a game-based wellness program
