In March 2020 the Ontario Government funded and built on the work done by 4 regional networks who delivered Increasing Access to Structured Psychotherapy (IASP) creating the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) program. This program is provincially lead by Dr. Martin Antony and provides free, short-term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for adults experiencing depression, anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or post-traumatic stress disorder within the province of Ontario. The OSP Program Manager is currently seeking two Psychologist - Clinical Consultant & Trainer's to help support the program with consultation and training to therapists in the OSP Program and other health care providers.

In this role you will co-facilitate the online OSP CBT training courses that all OSP therapists are required to complete, as well as others that are developed, based on principles of adult learning. You will take a leadership role in the development of materials to support OSP CBT protocol adoption by OSP therapists.
