Assessment & Advocacy

Removing barriers and providing support

You qualify for the WSIB Community Mental Health Program if you are covered by WSIB and you:

have a registered WSIB claim or recurrence
have experienced a psychological reaction after a work-related physical injury, or
have experienced a significant psychological response to a workplace incident or cumulative incidents, such as traumatic mental stress, chronic mental stress, or first responder post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
