Join the Arete Network

For more than a decade we’ve been focused on delivering the highest quality, comprehensive and flexible assistance programs to businesses and people across Canada—in both our official languages. We’re proud to say that our programs and service delivery are constantly tried and tested—and continue to lead the way.

The Arete Network is a natural reflection of our commitment to people, and our belief in the value and impact of counselling. We work hard to ensure our clients are connected to high-quality, effective and empathetic professionals who are the best fit for their unique needs—every, single, time.

Apply

Want to join the Arete Network? Excellent! As our network is meant to serve our clients’ needs, what we look for in new affiliates is consistently evolving.

We’re currently only processing applications for our areas of need, as listed below. If you don’t meet any of the criteria listed, you can still apply, but we won’t begin processing your application until Summer 2024.

If you meet any of the criteria below and are able to provide in-person counselling (that is, you aren’t limited by an online- or telephone-only practice), your first step is to complete the Professional Information Form. You’ll need your resume, a VOID cheque for billing/payment information, copies of your registration and practice insurance documents along with your availability and practice areas. It’s a detailed form but don’t worry—you can save it as you go and complete it at your own pace.

Once we’ve received your information, we’ll determine if there’s a need for services and will be in touch.
