Process:

Due to the limited availability of medical specialists across BC-wide, the patients who want to seek medical consultation with a psychiatrist initially have to see a general practitioner or a family doctor. A GP then sends a letter of reference to a medical institution if the patient needs to seek counseling with a specialist. A patient can receive a reference from trained social workers, psychologists, therapists, and secondary school teachers. The fees are generally covered by BC MSP.

The app is also featured with a chatbot for some basic questions about mental health and appointments.
