You deserve to feel better.
More and more Canadians end their workday feeling mentally and physically exhausted. You are not alone. And you deserve to feel better.
Ontario’s free AbilitiCBT program is now complete.
The Government of Ontario made AbilitiCBT free to all its residents to support those struggling with their mental health due to the pandemic. Although the free program is now complete, AbilitiCBT is still there for you.
If you registered for AbilitiCBT before Aug 13, 2022, you will be able to complete your program and have access to your completed modules for up to one year.
If you would like to register for one of our programs, you can do so by clicking the buttons on this page. Please note that with the free program complete, there is a fee to sign up for AbilitiCBT. However, AbilitiCBT is like other benefits – you pay for the program upfront and may be reimbursed through your benefits or insurance, if covered by your plan.

How AbilitiCBT works.
1. Register and complete a questionnaire.
Once you’ve registered, you will be asked to a set of questions that will assess your mental health and current level of functioning. This can take anywhere between 10-15 mins.
2. Download the app.
Search “AbilitiCBT” on the App Store or Google Play.
3. Get started
We give you access to modules 1 and 2 right away. At this point, you choose whether to schedule an appointment with your therapist over the phone or by video, or let us know that you prefer to message with your therapist throughout the program. After that, you can then get started on the remaining modules!
4. Move through the program to completion.
You will complete the CBT activities, videos, and assignments at your own pace, and your therapist will check in along the way. On average, the program takes 10-12 weeks to complete.

About AbilitiCBT
AbilitiCBT uses a technique called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and it’s one of the most effective forms of therapy because it helps you make meaningful changes to the way you think and act. In fact, AbilitiCBT is just as effective as in-person therapy, but with the added benefit of getting support anytime, anywhere, through your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
