Build a career while making a difference

You belong here if you value being able to leverage your psychological competencies as a trusted subject-matter expert to apply evidence-based and process expertise to meaningful step-care mental health programs across the mental health continuum (prevention, monitoring, and intervention).

• Consulting with other mental health team members and interdisciplinary clinical teams.
• Developing new mental health program content tailored to various client groups.
• Leveraging innovative approaches, including digital therapeutics, for service delivery.
• Participating in in-house training and interdisciplinary case discussions.
• Contributing to program outcome evaluations at provincial and national levels.
