The Ontario government is now offering more mental health services in every region of the province through the expanded Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program.
Adults across the province who have depression, anxiety, and anxiety-related concerns, can now connect to free cognitive behavioural therapy and other related services.
“Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health challenges Ontarians are facing,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health.
“On World Mental Health Day, I’m proud to say that with over 100 Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program service delivery sites across the province and a range of treatment options available, our government is ensuring people have access to free, confidential, and connected mental health services when and where they need them.”
Northwestern Ontario’s regional network for the OSP program is led by St. Joseph’s Care Group. Adults looking to enroll in the program can self-refer directly through St. Joseph’s or they can be referred by their health care provider.
The program has also expanded to include online cognitive behavioural therapy and clinician-assisted bibliotherapy to enhance the accessibility of services.
