    Ontario Structured Psychotherapy: Overview

    OSP is a stepped-care program, which means that clients start treatment that is the best fit for them with the shortest wait. OSP provides access to publicly funded, evidence-based, short-term, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related approaches to clients with depression, anxiety, and anxiety-related conditions. As clients go through the program, treatment is adjusted based on whether their progress and other additional needs. Most clients start at the first step, which consists of low intensity treatment offerings. Clients are transferred to the second step, which consists of high intensity treatment offerings. High intensity treatments are offered through Network Lead Organizations (NLOs).

    CMHA-YRSS was named as a Network Lead Organization for the OSP program. OSP provides access to publicly funded, evidence-based, short-term, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and related approaches to clients with depression, anxiety, and anxiety-related conditions. The program is delivered through a "hub and spoke" model; the hub provides shared administrative services and clinical quality oversight of the network, and community-based delivery sites deliver the majority of client services.
