Admissions Coordinator

In the last decade, the rate of Canadians with anxiety, depression, and bipolar have nearly doubled. Now, in any given year, one in five Canadians experiences a mental illness and 7% contemplate suicide. Substance abuse has also arisen with the Canadian Mental Health Association estimating that 21% of the population will meet the criteria for addiction in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the public system has not been able to serve the increased demand for intensive treatment, and the average wait time is now almost two months.

EHN Canada was founded in 2013 to support this growing demand. We believe that every Canadian has the right to mental health and addiction treatment services that are accessible (little to no wait times), affordable (paid for by your government or employer), and excellent (using outcomes measurement and evidenced-based practices). We have since grown to become the country’s largest private provider of mental health and addiction services.

Clients now receive treatment via ten locations and a virtual program.

Under the leadership of Joe Manget, CEO and Chairman, EHN Canada won the Greater Toronto top employer award in 2023. That same year he published a book, Everybody's Business:
How to Ensure Canadian Prosperity Through the Twenty-First Century, detailing four pillars increase our country's prosperity for future generations. He's also been recognized by Ernst & Young as a top health and life sciences entrepreneur.

EHN Canada has an aggressive plan to increase treatment capacity 385% in five years. Not only is this is a young and emerging private industry, but we're also the largest in Canada. That means we're building something that hasn't existed before. There is no playbook. We're moving fast, rapidly innovating, breaking things, and learning. Does that excite you? If so, we're seeking talented professionals from all sectors who enjoy our startup culture.

Let's build this together!

With inpatient substance abuse and mental health treatment center throughout the country, EHN Canada has a wide market presence which includes brand recognition, referral relationships, previous clients, advertising, word-of-mouth, and search engine optimization. They generate over 10,000 inbound inquires each month from potential new clients or their family members. These funnel into the admissions team via calls, chats, and emails.

The Admissions Coordinator serves this high inbound volume with a professional 30-minute phone consultation. This includes building a relationship, gaining a deep understanding of the situation through detailed discovery questions, and recommending an appropriate treatment program. To accomplish this effectively, teammates receive ongoing training on mental health disorders, how these conditions manifest and impact individuals, treatment modalities, ethics, confidentiality, and identifying client needs.
