2017 Recipient: Scarborough and Rouge Hospital
Individuals in need of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) typically face challenges like long wait lists, a shortage of therapists, and lack of access to a therapist outside of regular business hours. Now, adult outpatient clients of Scarborough and Rouge Hospital’s Mental Health department can access treatment for anxiety and depression any time and place that is most convenient for them.
Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT), the first program of its kind in Canada, was created to increase accessibility to an evidence-based practice proven to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
