Saalvio in the News
This page is for journalists, editors, and researchers covering mental health, digital health, or the Canadian startup landscape. Below you will find a plain summary of what Saalvio does, our media coverage to date, a downloadable media kit, and how to reach our press contact directly.
Company Overview
Saalvio is a Canadian digital mental health platform, operated by Zen Mind Inc. and headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario. It offers two pathways: a self-help app subscription available across North America, and pay-per-session virtual therapy delivered by Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Social Workers, currently available in Ontario with active expansion underway across Canada.
The platform connects the two pathways with secure messaging, which lets a Canadian ask a therapist questions before booking a session and lets an active client send brief, practical messages between sessions. Under CANADAHEALS, Saalvio's public commitment to accessible first steps, every Canadian receives a free year of the premium app and a free first therapy session.
Saalvio's clinical team is multilingual, currently working in English, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, and Arabic, reflecting the communities the platform was built to reach. The company operates under PHIPA (Ontario) and PIPEDA (federal Canada), with data held on Canadian servers.
