CAMH and their partner hospitals are currently providing access to mental health and addiction supports for these workers dealing with the stressors of COVID-19. CAMH is now expanding these supports to help health care workers maintain their mental health and wellness while coping with a wide array of stressors, including the pandemic OR other crises. These services include access to resources, Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT/Psychotherapy) as well as Psychiatric Services.
Individuals who meet the following criteria are now eligible to self-refer for psychotherapy and psychiatric services:
