TeamCare — Helping Employees Recover and Return to Work, Faster.

Early Intervention with Canada’s Leading Mental Health Care Experts

Medaca’s core service, TeamCare, is designed to deliver results at every stage of a mental health-related absence, from the earliest signs to more complex challenges. At its heart is one powerful idea: early, expert intervention makes all the difference.

TeamCare provides employees with rapid access to Canada’s top psychiatrists, within 15 business days - a dramatic improvement over the 6 to 12-month wait times typical in Canada. These psychiatrists work directly with the employee’s primary care provider to create coordinated, actionable treatment plans.

The result? Faster recovery, reduced disability durations, and more employees staying at or returning to work, healthier and supported.

TeamCare Stay At Work

Helping Employees Recover While They’re Still on the Job

Presenteeism, when employees are at work but struggling to function, is a hidden threat to workplace productivity. TeamCare Stay At Work addresses this through early intervention for employees who remain on the job but are experiencing mental health challenges.

Our psychiatrists and psychotherapists support recovery in real-time, helping employees regain stability and avoid unnecessary disability leaves. Studies show 80% of those receiving early treatment fully recover, and stay at work.

TeamCare Early LTD

Supporting Complex Claims in STD and Early LTD

When recovery stalls, TeamCare Late Stage steps in. This service is designed for employees in later stages of Short-Term Disability or early Long-Term Disability.

Our psychiatrists assess the individual’s condition and provide tailored treatment plans to re-engage progress. We coordinate with the primary care provider and insurer to ensure treatment is sustained, targeted, and effective, with the goal of getting employees back to life and work.

TeamCare+

Integrated Psychiatric Assessment and Virtual CBT

TeamCare+ combines the diagnostic expertise of psychiatrists with the therapeutic benefits of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. After a psychiatric assessment, eligible employees are referred to a psychotherapist for virtual CBT - a proven method for treating depression, anxiety, and related conditions.

This integrated approach enables collaborative care between psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and the primary care provider, ensuring a clear path to recovery.

TeamCare CBT

Return-to-Work Focused CBT with Expert Psychotherapists

Not every case requires psychiatric care — but early, targeted treatment can still make a significant impact. TeamCare CBT offers fast access to expert psychotherapists trained in return-to-work-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

This service is ideal for employees showing early signs of mental health challenges or struggling with adjustment, anxiety, or mild depression. Through structured vCBT sessions, employees receive the tools and strategies they need to improve their mental health and stay at or return to work, often without progressing to a disability claim.

It’s a proactive, cost-effective solution that meets employees where they are and helps them move forward.

TeamCare SUD

Specialized Care for Substance Use Disorders

Mental health conditions can be complex and debilitating, especially considering that up to 20% of people seeking mental health services are also living with an addiction. (Concurrent Disorders, Substance Abuse Canada, 2009). Psychiatrists provide in-depth assessments to support recovery planning, playing a crucial role in reducing the duration of the claim and supporting a successful return to work.

TeamCare PTSD

Specialized Care for Canada’s First Responders

First responders face unique mental health challenges, particularly related to trauma and PTSD. TeamCare FR™ connects these employees with mental health professionals who have specialized experience in treating PTSD.

Working alongside the employee’s primary care provider, our team provides early, expert treatment designed to help first responders recover and return to a healthy, productive life.
