Can I include costs of parenting / pre-separation mediation in medical expenses? It was done by a registered social worker. Thank you.

It’s not included on the CRA’s page of common medical expenses, found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-re...

The closest thing is Therapy, but the therapy has to be prescribed and supervised by a psychologist, a medical doctor, or a nurse practitioner for a mental impairment. The person who is receiving the therapy also must be eligible disability tax credit (DTC).

You can always double check with the CRA. If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are somewhere else you can call 613-940-8495.
