Therapist-guided
We offer two therapist-guided courses which are currently available to PSP residing in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Quebec.
These courses are therapist-guided, which means:
- Therapist guidance is optional, and the amount of therapist guidance depends on the needs of each client (1 to 2 times a week).
- Each week clients can send questions or concerns to their assigned therapist through a secure messaging system.
- Therapists contact clients through secure emails or by phone.
- Therapist support typically starts with 8 weeks and can be extended (up to 16 weeks).
- Clients can access the course for up to one year after enrollment.
Self-guided
We offer a self-guided course to PSP anywhere in Canada:
These courses are without therapist guidance, which means:
- Clients are not assigned to therapists.
- Clients receive automated emails every week encouraging them to complete the lessons.
- Lesson materials are presented online every week over the course of 8 weeks.
- Lessons are presented in an engaging manner, with homework given at the end of each lesson to help with learning the strategies.
- Clients can access the lesson materials for up to 20 weeks after enrollment.
