This skills based program runs a maximum of 12 weeks with a commitment of 3 hours per week. The program is designed to help clients develop tools and increase their supports through the use of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). A referral from a physian is required and should be directed to Centralized Intake at one-Link, who would conduct a screening call as eligibility requirements vary across programs. To see a psychiatrist, clients must meet specific eligibility standards, and the psychiatrist determines next steps in care. For certain diagnoses, documented medication trials are required before accessing some services. Please note that one-Link doesn’t directly place clients into THP or other specific programs. Its role is to help coordinate services and guide individuals to the most appropriate supports.

Processing typically takes approximately three weeks, and wait times vary. Clients will be informed of the expected wait time once triage is complete.
