WSIB
Mental Health
Program of Care
Formerly known as WSIB's Community Mental Health Program
What is WSIB's Mental Health Program of Care?
The WSIB Program connects injured workers with qualified community‑based mental health providers for psychological assessment and treatment. Services are authorized and funded by WSIB when there is an approved claim.
At our clinic, we work closely with WSIB case managers to ensure care is aligned with program requirements while remaining client‑centred and clinically appropriate.
Eligibility

This may include individuals who:

-
Have been affected by a traumatic workplace incident
-
Have experienced the impact of repeated or cumulative workplace stressors
