Goals & Objectives

OSP’s vision is to make publicly-funded, evidence-based psychotherapy and related approaches available to all Ontarians with mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and anxiety-related conditions.  The primary goals of OSP are to provide high quality service that is effective, efficient, equitable, client centred and accessible.

Services will reflect the needs of the populations we serve in communities across Ontario. This includes ensuring that all Ontarians, including the program’s priority populations, which are groups at higher risk of poor mental health outcomes, or who experience barriers to accessing care, are able to access the program. OSP priority populations include (but are not limited to):

• people without access to healthcare benefits and those on a low income
• people who are Black, Indigenous and other people of colour
• Francophones
• people who identify as 2SLGBTQ+
• people living with disabilities
• people living in remote areas
