What is OSP?

​

• The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program provides free, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety and depression.

• Treatment is delivered by trained mental health professionals and includes structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) through guided self-help, group therapy, or individual sessions. OSP improves access to timely mental health care and provides Primary Care Providers (PCPs) with a clear pathway to refer patients who may benefit from structured psychotherapy.
