Parapluie ☂️

Parapluie does not reimburse consultation fees. Digital health services are provided through the Dialogue platform.

There are two (2) ways to access mental health services on the Dialogue platform:

1 – As part of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP): 

Support or therapy provided by a mental health professional is offered following an assessment process.

For specialized treatment or a needs assessment, the individual is referred to the appropriate external resources. Limit of four (4) sessions per person.

2 – in the Mental Health+ program: self-directed or practitioner-led therapy.

includes unlimited access to mental health professionals for advice and support during a crisis, as well as convenient virtual therapy sessions as needed.

After the initial assessment and discussion of treatment goals, the practitioner works with the client to develop a personalized treatment plan and determine the number of sessions needed, with the goal of helping the client regain full functioning and well-being. Therapy sessions (mental health consultations) continue until functional remission is achieved, that is, until:

1. The objectives and goals set out in the treatment plan are achieved;
2. Clinical Questionnaires PHQ-9 and GAD-7 indicate an improvement in symptoms (with no fixed threshold, as this varies depending on each situation);
3. The client feels confident in using the tools and strategies learned during therapy;
4. The therapist is satisfied with the limb's progress and improvement.

The medical appointments related to mental health (for example, regarding medication) can also be part of the collaborative care plan and continue for as long as necessary.

Parapluie gives continuous access to Dialogue digital health services.
