My hope is that there will be a continued focus and financial and resource support for mental health interventions, resources moving forward.
When life feels overwhelming, where do you turn? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', Janice Arnoldi chats with Dr. Deanne Sims about Ontario's Bounce Back Cognitive Behavioural Therapy program. Created by the Canadian Mental Health Association and supported by the Ontario government, this initiative is designed to help people navigate the choppy waters of mental health and addiction, especially during these trying times.
The pandemic has heightened anxiety, stress, and low moods for many, making programs like Bounce Back more crucial than ever. Offering a series of workbooks and modules accessible via telephone, the program aims to provide practical tools for managing mental health challenges. Janice and Dr. Sims discuss how isolation has led to fatigue and irritability, complicating daily routines and work-life balance.
Yet, there's a silver lining: stigma around mental illness is diminishing, and there's a growing recognition of the need for varied mental health services to cater to everyone's unique needs. Remote and tech-enabled services offer flexibility but also come with their own set of challenges, like the loss of natural breaks in the day. The coaches at Bounce Back, working closely with clinical psychologists, guide individuals through cognitive behavioural therapy principles tailored to their specific situations.
This program has been a lifeline for those grappling with depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Janice and Dr. Sims highlight the importance of continued support for mental health resources and interventions. Tune in to hear more about how Bounce Back is making a difference in people's lives.
