Client Testimonials

"After a very competitive RFP process, Strive Health was the successful candidate for an evaluation of the provincial mental health and addictions strategy for the province of Nova Scotia. The Strive Health Team was competent and professional throughout all of our interactions and showed remarkable flexibility as the evaluation evolved.​ The members of the Strive Health Team were very easy to work with in that they listened well and asked specific and relevant questions to ensure they provided the best product possible. ​Partners and Stakeholders demonstrated above average engagement and cooperation and spoke positively about their interactions with the Strive Health Team. ​I would highly recommend the Strive Health Team and would be delighted to have the opportunity to work with them in the future.​"
