How to access services in your area:
The BounceBack® program is now part of the provincial Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program. In your area, Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre is responsible for coordinating all referrals into the OSP program and will help direct you to services that best meet your needs. These services may be offered in person, by telephone, or virtually, and may be offered out of a community service organization, such as a community mental health agency or a family doctor’s office.
In order to participate in the program, you can sign up for the program yourself, or you can have a referral submitted by a psychiatrist, primary care provider (family doctor, nurse practitioner) or other health care professional.
To begin the referral process, you will first need to complete the referral form on AccessMHA.ca. This will give you access to coordinated mental health and addictions services in eastern Ontario, including access to the OSP program. On AccessMHA.ca, you will be able to book yourself into a screening appointment, at which time you will be contacted by an AccessMHA staff member to get you started. If you have any questions, please contact the Royal at 1-877-527-8207.
