BounceBack
BounceBack®: Reclaim your health is a free, skill-building program designed to help adults and youth aged 15+ manage symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The program offers 2 types of support:
- One-on-one telephone coaching and workbooks that you can do from the comfort of your home.
- A series of online videos that offer practical tips on managing mood, sleeping better, building confidence, and more.
One-on-One Coaching
Available by referral from a primary care provider (family doctor, nurse practitioner) or self-referral (with the contact information of your primary care provider), the program helps you learn skills to help deal with problems such as inactivity, unhelpful thinking, worry, and avoidance.
To print a referral form and to get started with the BounceBack program, visit: bouncebackontario.ca.
- Once a referral is submitted, you’ll be contacted within five business days to schedule a telephone appointment.
- The BounceBack program usually involves three to six telephone sessions with a coach.
- The first session lasts about 45 minutes, where the coach does a risk assessment, reviews the program objectives with you, and helps you select the workbooks that are most relevant to your current needs.
