Do I have to be referred by a doctor?

You do not need to be referred by your physician to BounceBack®.

BounceBack coaches provide a service in partnership with a Health and Social Services Professional, who retains clinical responsibility for your health for the duration of the program. You can enroll yourself if you are already connected to a health care professional. If not, it is possible to find a health care professional who would assume temporary clinical responsibility. To do this, you can find out the best way to proceed in your area through the psychosocial intake of your local CLSC (811 option 2). Be sure to include this person’s contact information when you fill out the online registration form. Our team will contact this person on your behalf and follow up as needed.

Your BounceBack coach will contact your identified health provider to notify them of your referral to the program, results from questionnaires completed during the program intake and completion, and if there are any concerns about personal safety.
