AbilitiCBT also includes a program specifically designed to address anxiety symptoms related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with content tailored to its uniquely challenging aspects: uncertainty, isolation, caring for family and community members, information overload and stress management.

All Ontarians, aged 16 and over, can access AbilitiCBT for free and it can be accessed from home on a smartphone or a tablet.

When you sign up for AbilitiCBT you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire. You will be paired with a registered therapist who will guide you through the AbilitiCBT program.
