Canadians Can Now Access Free Mental Health Support from Green Shield Canada
Green Shield Canada, a renowned provider of health benefits, now offers Canadians across the country access to free mental health support services.
TORONTO, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Green Shield Canada (GSC), Canada's only not-for-profit health benefits provider is reaching out to Canadians needing mental health support during this challenging time with a Green Shield Canada PSA.
"Mental health has always been an important issue, and during this pandemic, even more so," says Bob Doyle, Director of Individual Marketing Strategies. "We felt developing a TV spot was the best way to let Canadians know how to access free mental health support online to get the help they need."
GSC worked with their agency partner Northern Lights Direct, to create a public service announcement (PSA) that Northern Lights produced and had on air in only a few weeks. The 30-second PSA highlights GSC's efforts to help Canadians by providing assessment and support resources free of charge. Northern Lights Direct worked with media partner Corus Entertainment to secure free airtime for the PSA.
"It was important that we were able to work quickly and completely virtually to create this spot for GSC.," says Bryan Walkey, CEO of Northern Lights Direct. "GSC wanted to make sure this important issue reached Canadians in need and we were happy to be able to help them."
