July 26, 2022 (Edmonton, Alberta) <\/b>– The Coordinated Accessible National (CAN) Health Network is pleased to announce that CASA Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Health will be joining the Network in an effort to expand its unique programs and services throughout Alberta and across Canada.<\/p>\n

The CAN Health Network is a federally funded Integrated Market working to introduce more Canadian innovation into Canada\u2019s health-care system. Comprised of 29 health-care operators (called Edges) from across the country, the Network helps identify health-care\u2019s biggest challenges and solve them with proven homegrown solutions. The ultimate goal is to enable Canadian companies to be rapidly validated, procured and scaled across Canada and abroad, starting with Edges in the Network.<\/p>\n

As the Network\u2019s first and only Edge dedicated solely to mental health services among children and youth, partnering with CASA gives the CAN Health Network and its members an opportunity to explore a wider range of innovative solutions for this particular area of the health-care industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely excited to be working with CASA,\u201d says Dr. Dante Morra, Chair of the CAN Health Network. \u201cJoining forces with an organization that offers such niche services will be a major benefit to Edges, companies and partners in the Network who are looking to advance their current mental health initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based in Edmonton, Alberta, CASA is a non-profit organization delivering holistic, culturally safe wrap-around mental health services to children, adolescents and their families across the province. CASA provides assessment and treatment services for up to 4,000 children and adolescents each year through approximately 20 programs and specialized services.<\/p>\n

Partnering with the CAN Health Network will enable CASA to run projects with Canadian companies who have new, innovative solutions that will help fuel its efforts to expand throughout Alberta over the next three years and double the amount of children it helps per year.<\/p>\n

\u201cCASA\u2019s new five-year journey to reach more kids and families \u2013 and to bring mental health service closer to where they are \u2013 is a perfect challenge that can be met through innovative solutions\u201d says Bonnie Blakley, CASA Chief Executive Officer. \u201cCASA is so excited to learn and share expertise as part of the CAN Health Network, because families across Canada need mental health support more than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n
