To support assessment, treatment and recovery, workers will be connected with the right health care team members.

Access to mental health services for gradual onset psychological injuries (GPI) in an already-stretched health care system is a concern for workers, employers, and the WCB. That’s why the WCB has established mental health service agreements with specialized providers to support quick access to services.
