What is Owl Pod?

Owl Pod is Canada’s largest free telehealth mental health clinic. With the backlog of mental health services in Alberta, Owl Pod is set up to help alleviate that burden with their 42 specially trained Physicians and 4 Psychiatrists. Each professional at Owl Pod is an expert at guiding patients through a mental health program with clearly defined goals.
