Harriet Ekperigin

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health sector, Harriet has played a transformative role in advancing access to mental health services in Canada, currently holding the title of Vice President of Mental Health at GreenShield. As a mother of twin 12 year olds, she understands the struggles it takes to find balance and the importance of prioritizing self. As the Senior Lead for Virtual Mental Health at the Ontario Telemedicine Network and Ontario Health, she led the growth of Ontario's virtual mental health program from a pilot project to Canada's first province-wide, fully-funded, internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy program - which supported over 120,000 Ontarians during the pandemic. Her expertise in mental health nursing and her passion for innovation have made her a respected leader in the field.
