Good news! BounceBack® is now available in the West region of the province as part of the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program, which provides treatment for depression and anxiety-related conditions. Conditions include mild to moderate 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 OSP West in your client’s area.
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 one of the referral forms at OSPWest.ca. You can also submit a referral through the Ocean eReferral Network by searching for “OSP West”. Clients will then be contacted by someone from OSP West to get started. If you have any questions, please contact: OSP West at 1-833-944-9966 or email them at: OSPWest@stjoes.ca.
