Capacity Partnerships
Culturally grounded virtual mental health care that wraps around the care your organization already provides.
The gap is capacity, not intent
Qualified First Nations, Inuit, and Métis mental health providers are scarce everywhere — in communities, in health centres, and in hospitals. Both levels of government have named the gap: the federal government has committed $630 million over two years to Indigenous mental wellness services, and Ontario’s Roadmap to Wellness calls for culturally appropriate, Indigenous-led care closer to home.
No single organization can hire its way out of that gap. Noojimo Health exists so you don’t have to. We are a virtual Indigenous mental health service — our practitioners, our platform, our clinical oversight — and under a service agreement, your team can refer Indigenous clients directly into immediate, culturally grounded care.
Wraparound care for hospital partners
Every week, Indigenous patients travel hours into urban centres for surgery, cancer treatment, or a crisis admission — then return to communities where the supports around that episode simply don’t exist. No hospital can staff for that journey. Noojimo can wrap around it:
Before they travel — preparing patients and families for what’s ahead, virtually, wherever home is.
During treatment — supporting patients and the family members alongside them through weeks away from home.
After discharge — staying with clients through recovery, follow-up after an ER visit, or the fragile weeks after withdrawal management.
The hospital’s care ends at discharge. Ours doesn’t have to.
Reach and capacity for community partners
The model is proven in community settings. We deliver virtual care in partnership with Indigenous health access centres across Ontario — extending their reach to clients who can’t physically get to their facilities, whether because of distance, mobility, or other barriers, and adding capacity when demand outstrips what their own teams can hold. First Nations communities and Indigenous-led organizations use the same partnership to keep care flowing when their local services are stretched.
How a partnership works
A service agreement, not a staffing arrangement. Your organization signs a service agreement with Noojimo Health. Care is delivered by Noojimo — our roster of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis practitioners, our secure virtual platform, our clinical oversight and privacy safeguards.
Your team refers; clients choose. Referred clients browse our roster and choose their own practitioner based on fit, cultural background, and wellness goals — no one is assigned.
Care begins immediately. Virtual sessions start without waitlists: trauma-informed counselling, addictions support, grief support, and traditional healing approaches.
We keep you in the loop. Anonymized reporting shows utilization and outcomes, and when a client transitions back to services in your circle of care, we support that transition clinically and carefully.
Why partners choose Noojimo
Culturally grounded, by design. Our practitioners are First Nations, Inuit, and Métis professionals who bring lived experience alongside their clinical training.
Client choice and empowerment. Choosing your own provider is part of healing in a good way.
Immediate access. No waitlists, no geography — care reaches clients wherever home is.
Nothing to build. Platform, scheduling, privacy compliance, and clinical oversight are ours to run, so your team can stay focused on the care only you can provide.
Where could care wrap around yours?
If you see your clients or patients in this story — a cancer journey far from home, a discharge with nothing waiting on the other side, a community program stretched past capacity — we would be honoured to connect and explore what a partnership could look like.
