BounceBack telephone coaching and workbooks
For additional support in managing depression and anxiety, BounceBack offers an educational and motivational guided self-help program using telephone coaching and workbooks.
A referral is required in order to participate. Your primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner) can provide you with a referral. This is important so that the healthcare professionals who know you best can match your needs with the right support. Print off a copy of the referral form to take with you at your next primary care visit. Alternatively, you can self-refer by completing the online referral form. Be sure to include the contact information for your primary care provider so that we can contact them on your behalf.
Once a referral has been submitted, you will be contacted by a BounceBack coach within five business days to schedule a telephone assessment:
- The program involves three to six telephone coaching sessions, which you can do from the comfort of your home.
- Your coach is there to help you develop new skills, keep you motivated, and monitor how you’re doing.
- You and your coach will select from among 20 workbook topics that are best suited to your current needs. Some popular workbooks are: Being assertive; Changing extreme and unhelpful thinking; Overcoming sleep problems.
- Telephone coaching is currently available in the following languages: English, French, Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, Farsi, Hindi, Italian, Mandarin, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, Ukrainian, and Urdu.
