Feedback
We’re committed to service excellence and welcome your comments. Your feedback helps us understand your needs, address your concerns and improve our services.
We want to hear from you:
When providing feedback please keep in mind that call volumes are often very high. We manage resources to ensure that calls from clients in crisis are our top priority. This means that wait times can be longer than expected for less urgent situations.
Include a valid email address or telephone number so that we can confirm receipt of your feedback and respond to any concerns. Don’t include too many details or sensitive personal information. We review all feedback, and will respond to complaints by email or telephone within 3 business days.
Send us your feedback:
- Compliment: Tell us what we are doing well, or if you had a positive experience.
- Comment: Give us your suggestions or thoughts about our services, timeliness or processes.
- Complaint: Let us know if we didn’t meet your expectations about our services, timeliness or processes. You can also use this to report other concerns, such as about a mental health professional or our digital tools.
