From a business perspective, Arive’s evidence-based approach helps employees stay at work or return to work more quickly if on a leave, remain focused, productive and engaged—all while improving their job performance. It’s a benefit that works for everyone.

If they need support, they simply:

  1. Call us at 1-877-412-7483 and provide their certificate and policy number.
  2. They’ll have a confidential conversation with a member of our intake team who will actively listen to their concerns and match them with the professional from our extensive Canadian network best suited to meet your needs and most likely to produce a successful outcome.
  3. Your employee (or family member) will connect with the professional to book their session and begin accessing support.

  1. Hours may be shared with eligible family members or dependents as defined by your group insurance policy.
