Strongest Families Institute (SFI) is an award-winning charity dedicated to improving mental health and well-being through virtual, clinically validated services that have been co-created. With over 23 years of research at its foundation, SFI offers accessible, bilingual programs for children, youth, adults, and their families. By leveraging best-in-class science, skilled telephone coaches, and innovative technology (SFI’s proprietary IRIS eplatform with companion App), SFI ensures quality care is available when and where it’s needed.
SFI is a pioneer in child, youth and family e-mental health support. SFI’s stepped care model provides universal support to pediatrics and their families across the continuum, with the ability to scale quickly to reduce waitlists and complement existing health care systems.
SFI’s services are flexible, barrier-free, and convenient, bridging the geographical divide as well as the digital divide by providing handbooks as needed. We partner with provincial governments and health authorities across Canada, providing free services in funded areas. With an outcome success rate exceeding 85% and high client satisfaction, SFI is committed to closing the gap in mental health care, ensuring help is accessible to all. Our mission is to enhance well-being through innovation, research, and highly skilled support.
