  • Are not already seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist
  • Are not already dealing with severe/complex mental health issues.

What will happen?

According to the available resource, “An initial assessment conducted by a clinically supervised Coach is used to identify if NewAccess for Small Business Owners is the most appropriate service to support your mental health needs. Please note, if your symptoms or condition are found to be too severe or complex for this program, you will be referred to a more appropriate service or back to a GP.”
