Welcome to FeelingBetterNow®. You’ve taken an important step in understanding your mental well-being.

One in five Canadians currently suffers from a serious mental health issue such as depression or anxiety. Managing emotional and mental health issues is one of the toughest problems faced by individuals and their physicians. Statistics indicate only one in eight Canadians affected receives proper mental health diagnosis and treatment.

At OTIP, we take every aspect of our members’ health and well-being seriously. We recognize that there are times when you may have concerns about your emotional and mental health. To address these concerns, the OTIP Board of Trustees, has authorized a special partnership with Mensante Corporation to provide you with access to FeelingBetterNow®.

FeelingBetterNow® is a Web-based mental health care program designed to assist in the prevention, early diagnosis and ongoing management of common emotional and mental health issues. The College of Family Physicians of Canada has reviewed and approved FeelingBetterNow® as a practice management tool available to assist family physicians in patient care.

We hope you will find the information on this Web site useful in helping you maintain, and even improve, your emotional and mental health and well-being.
