Live Event CommunityThe COVID-19 pandemic presents a number of overlapping and unprecedented challenges, impacting all parts of Canadian life: how we socialize, how we work, how we get our essentials, and how we maintain our overall health and well-being.
WellCan, brought to you by a community of partners, provides a hub for mental health resources and tools to help all Canadians maintain positive mental, physical, social and financial health during the COVID-19
pandemic.
The app will let you receive the latest updates, trusted resources, and self-assess your symptoms.
Talk on the phone with someone else stuck at home.
Once you sign up and choose your language preferences, you’ll be subscribed to periodic calls. Your caller ID will always say “QuarantineChat” when your phone rings.
After
a brief moment on hold, you’ll match with another random person. You
don’t have to pick up if you’re busy—your partner will be automatically
matched with someone else. And you can join and leave the line whenever
you’d like.
It’s private. You use your phone number to sign up for Dialup, but your matches will only ever see your username.
All calls are end-to-end encrypted.

Tiny conversations to feel your best.
Woebot is an automated conversational agent (chatbot) who helps you monitor mood and learn about yourself. Drawing from a therapeutic framework known as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Woebot asks people how they’re feeling and what is going on in their lives in the format of brief daily conversations. Woebot also talks to you about mental health and wellness and sends you videos and other useful tools depending on your mood and needs at that moment. You can think of Woebot as a choose-your-own-adventure self-help book that is capable of storing all of your entries, and gets more specific to your needs over time.
