ARCH "Video Psych" Psychological Services Bridge the Distance

Overview

Psychology has been helping people solve lifestyle problems since the late 1800's. With the availability of video conferencing technology in most urban and small town areas, as well as in remote northern communities, effective and timely psychological assistance is available across the province.

Most hospitals, Alberta mental health offices, post-secondary educational institutions, as well as a great number of Aboriginal Health Centres have installed video conferencing equipment.

ARCH Psychological Services, a private practice established in 1987, seeks to provide a timely, compassionate, professional psychological care. ARCH has been involved in the development of a program within the Aboriginal communities designed to bring healing and restoration to victims and the communities.

ARCH is available to work with local health care professionals and resources in a consultative process that provides experienced professional psychological services. Video Conferencing Psychology is an optimum means of making treatment accessible to isolated areas.
