Homewood Health

What Homewood Health does

Homewood Health is a Canadian mental health and addiction services provider founded in 1883 and headquartered in Guelph, Ontario. It operates a continuum-of-care platform spanning three wholly-owned inpatient treatment facilities (Homewood Health Centre and The Residence at Homewood in Guelph, and Homewood Ravensview in Victoria, BC), virtual therapy services delivered through Therapy@Home, and a national Employee Assistance Program (EFAP) offered to Canadian employers. The company serves individual Canadians seeking therapy, counselling, and addiction treatment, enterprise clients purchasing workplace mental health benefits, and specialty cohorts including elite athletes (through the Canadian Olympic Committee partnership) and first responders.

The underlying technology stack centers on the TouchPoint electronic health platform, developed in collaboration with the Homewood Research Institute, which operationalizes Measurement-Based Care (MBC) by administrating validated clinical assessments at intake and throughout treatment to guide care decisions. The company documents MBC-enabled outcomes of a 3.5x higher likelihood of reliable change, 42% higher overall improvement, 40% lower dropout rates, and 25% lower no-show rates. The Mobility Quotient acquisition (October 2023) added digital product capability and a CTO hire, and the EFAP Digital Platform provides online access to employee counselling, resilience programming, and appointment reminders.

Homewood Health generates revenue through three primary streams: subscription-based EFAP contracts with employers, fee-for-service inpatient mental health and addiction treatment, and recurring virtual therapy programs. The company is privately held, with ownership tied to the Schlegel family following a prior acquisition, and reports over 6,000 employees and clinical experts across Canada. Recent strategic activity has emphasized flagship partnerships (Canadian Olympic Committee, Cleveland Clinic Canada), new clinical programming (gambling disorder treatment), and digital expansion rather than disclosed revenue growth.
