Good news! BounceBack® is now available in this area as part of the provincial Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program, which provides treatment for depression and anxiety-related conditions. Conditions include depression and low mood, generalized anxiety and worry, health anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, other anxiety and stress-related problems, posttraumatic stress, social anxiety and performance fears, specific fears, and unexpected panic attacks and agoraphobic fears. While services are delivered by providers in the community, referrals are coordinated by Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care in your client’s area.
In order to participate in the program, your client can sign up for the program themselves, or a referral can be submitted by their psychiatrist, primary care provider (family doctor, nurse practitioner) or other health care professional.
Once a referral is made, your client will be screened to ensure they are eligible to participate in the program and ensure it is the right fit. They will then be offered support that best meets their individual needs and preferences.
How to refer:
To begin the referral process, you will first need to complete the referral form on Waypoint’s website. Clients will then be contacted by someone from Waypoint to get started. If you have any questions, please contact: Waypoint at 1-877-341-4729 ext. 2883 or email them at: osp@waypointcentre.ca.
