COVID-19 is affecting our communities in a number of ways.
With regular mental health programming and services for our region’s patients having to be cancelled or limited, the need to find a way to stay connected and deliver care to our clients becomes even greater in a crisis such as we are facing. This is also undoubtedly, a difficult time for inpatients who are separated from their loved ones.
That's where TELUS comes in.
With anxieties running high, TELUS stepped up to deliver mobile devices to clients at The Royal.
Not only will these phones and tablets ensure clients can receive their much-needed mental health services and support, but they’ll also ensure clients have the ability to stay virtually connected to their families throughout these times of uncertainty and physical-distancing.
"We are absolutely thrilled to receive this very generous donation. These phones will allow our clients to continue to maintain connections with their care teams and continue to receive mental health services and support through telemedicine. It will also allow clients to stay in close contact with their loved ones, something that is especially important in these unprecedented and challenging times. I see these phones as a wonderful tool to support wellness for our clients," says Emily Deacon, Director of Professional Practice at The Royal.
Thank you so much, Telus, for keeping our clients, families, and care providers #AllConnectedForGood.
