About CBI Health’s Community Rehabilitation Services Working in communities across Ontario, the Community Rehabilitation Services team treats clients who have experienced mental stress injuries and motor vehicle accidents, focusing on a return to pre‑accident function. In our Traumatic Psychological Injury program, Occupational Therapists work with first responders and others who have experienced workplace trauma. They conduct in‑vivo exposure therapy, behavioural activation, facilitate trauma processing, coping and return to function. The program incorporates evidence‑based care and novel interventions such as virtual reality to promote leading‑edge mental health outcomes. This is a unique opportunity to become an expert in a growing niche within the OT profession. Occupational Therapists within our Complex Auto program assess and treat clients presenting with various physical, orthopaedic, cognitive and psychosocial impairments related to motor vehicle accidents. Working in a community setting, therapists complete in‑home and hospital discharge assessments, ergonomic assessments, concussion treatment, cognitive rehabilitation, mental health treatment and several other interventions. The program provides a ‘start‑to‑finish’ care model, guiding clients through every step of their recovery.
