@SunLifeCA @Manulife Did you know there are SIX colleges authorized to offer psychotherapy according to Ontario legislation? Why do your benefits only cover CRPO? 🤔#nursepsychotherapists

Oh oh @SunLifeCA @Manulife @canadalifeco @CLHIA @AskManulife first @OTIP_Insurance and now @VeteransENG_CA … you weren’t first but do you really want to be last? #timeforchange #updateyourpolicies #nursesareheretostay #MentalHealthMatters @RNAO @nursepsychother @CBCHealth

[Nurse Psychotherapists of Ontario @nursetherapists]

@GrittyNurse Why is @SunLifeCA still denying client #mentalhealth benefits and blocking their right to access skilled providers who are legally authorized to provide #psychotherapy when so many Ontarians are in crisis?! #SuicidePrevention #mentallyilltwt #mentalhealthnurse

[Caroline.RNPsychotherapy @CarolineRN]

Extra special shout-out to @OTIP_Insurance!!! Thank you for including #nursepsychotherapy in your list of covered services!!!
Now if only the others like @SunLifeCA and @Manulife could get on board!! @CLHIA let's keep pushing for this change! Your clients will thank you!

🎉My clients covered by @OTIP_Insurance can breathe a sigh of relief. Congrats to @AskManulife for brilliantly adding #nursepsychotherapists to their approved providers! 🎉 @OPSEUAmbDiv did you know your insurance provider refuses to cover us? Shame. Bravo @OTIP_Insurance!

Hey @SunLife @Manulife @CLHIA @OTIP_Insurance It's Nurses Week! What a perfect time to allow #RNPsychotherapy the recognition and coverage it deserves!! Time to change your outdated policies and comply with Ontario Law!! @DorisGrinspun @RNAO @sweeney_np @cbcmarketplace

Just your Tuesday morning reminder that 88 out of 119 elected MPs from the Conservative Party of Canada, which received the most votes in the last two federal elections, are anti-choice.

Don’t think for a moment that it couldn’t happen here.

Curious about how you @CLHIA are including #RNPsychotherapists in services that you recc be covered? True access to mental includes ALL legislated & regulated providers of #psychotherapy. Do you agree? @thewellRN is awaiting your response too @DorisGrinspun @RNAO

[RNAO @RNAO]

RNAO member RN Tara Tourloukis (@thewellRN) pens a letter to @LucknowSentinel about the integral role of #RNPsychotherapists in Ont's health system: "We're highly educated & trained therapists who bring experience, knowledge & skill to the therapy table."

Our regulatory body confirms it. Nurses do NOT need to be registered with the CRPO in order to provide the controlled act of Psychotherapy!! @Manulife @SunLife #MentalHealthMatters #rnpsychotherapy #mentalhealth #sunlife #manulife

I was even unaware there were nurse psychotherapists. From my distant perspective, it makes sense they should be more integrated into our health system. I’m interested to know why they r not recognized by insurers

“They fund beds which are essentially just furniture,” said Erin Ariss, regional vice-president of the Ontario Nurses Association. “Without RNs, there’s no one there to provide the care.” You said it, Erin!

@SunLifeCA @Manulife @canadalifeco it is time to update your policies. This is a very simple correction that could significantly impact a person's quality of life.

[Nurse Psychotherapists of Ontario @nursetherapists]

@thewellRN @SunLife @TorontoStar @collegeofnurses Yes @SunLifeCA @Manulife our government and our college say as nurses we can provide the controlled act of psychotherapy, so what are you saying we can’t? We do more than “just footcare” #updateyourpolicies

[Tori Hamilton, RN Psychotherapist, IBCLC, PMH-C @themamanurse]

Yes, thank you @TorontoStar for covering this important story. Everyone in Ontario deserves access to qualified mental health professionals. Nurse psychotherapists have so much to offer their clients @collegeofnurses @thewellRN @RNtherapist @feelgoodnurseRN @RNAO @SheenaLGHoward

So #MentalHealth services should be on OHIP whether Nurse, Psychotherapy or Social Worker. Now few can get help and the wait lists for psychiatrists are horrendous
