Social Policy in Ontario

Here’s what you need to know:

• All OSP services are evidence-based and informed by cognitive-behavioural therapy.
• Most people begin with self-led resources guided by a coach or clinician and move to individual or group therapy if they need more support.
• The care team will closely monitor client progress through treatment.
• Adults can refer themselves to the program or get a referral from a health care provider.
• OSP can help people with depression and low mood, generalized anxiety and worry, obsessive-compulsive concerns, post-traumatic stress, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, specific fears and stress-related problems.
• OSP is co-ordinated by 10 regional networks across the province. These networks partner with community-based organizations to deliver services locally.
