Everyone deserves a clear camino (path) to feeling better.
Camino North builds private, secure, in-the-moment tools designed to support you in hard moments. Our tools are there when you need them — no appointment or login required. A self-guided supplement to professional care, but not a substitute.

But finding that path could be challenging — especially in the exact moments when you need support the most.
This is compounded by:
- 1. Long wait times to access mental health services.
- 2. Large health care systems which make navigation feel daunting.
- 3. Private counselling sessions which may be financially out of reach for some.
So, what if support for managing triggers was just… there — privately on your phone, for exactly when you need it?
No appointment. No login. No cost getting in the way of immediate support. A steady, judgment-free place to write about what you’re feeling and find your own way through — built on a single core belief: that you already hold the answers within, and we’ll help you bring them to the light.
That’s what we set out to build.
Our flagship product
Rethread.
A quiet place to work through — and rewrite — hard thoughts.
For the hard days: catch a harsh thought and re-thread it into something truer and kinder. It’s there the second you open it.
For organizations
We’re not a substitute for professional help — but we enjoy collaborating whenever we can.
Not everyone finds us on their own. So, we make sure to partner with organizations who directly interact with people in need — as a means of providing steady, in-the-moment support for those who could benefit most from our offerings.
Employers
Support that reaches your people in the moments between appointments.
Community agencies
Extend the reach of the teams already doing the work.
Public health organizations
Helping close gaps where care may feel costly or out of reach.
Work with us through advisory, a project, or an ongoing partnership. Start with a 30-minute conversation — no pitch, no obligation.
Partner with us
Support you can trust.
Trust shouldn’t be something you take on faith. So we make it something you can check:
Your entries are encrypted by your phone’s own operating system with hardware-backed keys — locked behind Face ID or your passcode.
Share a report with a therapist or physician if you choose — free for every user. Add a password and it’s end-to-end encrypted (AES-256) — visible only to the people you want to share it with.
We keep no copies of what you write — so there’s nothing for us to read, sell, or lose. You can back up your data, if desired.
A supplement to professional care.
Not a replacement for a therapist, doctor, or crisis line.
We help you reflect privately.
We don’t watch, track, or sell what you share.
Alberto Almeida · MPH, PMP
Before Alberto helped lead British Columbia’s provincial crisis lines, he called one. That’s why Camino North exists. Across nearly a decade in BC’s mental health system — as a project manager, a director, and a client — he was part of the team that increased call answer rates for 1-800-SUICIDE and 310-Mental Health Support.
