Summary
We’re seeking a Psychologist who’s passionate about person-centred, trauma-informed care to join our Road to Recovery team.
What is the Road to Recovery (R2R) Program?
The Road to Recovery program is an innovative and compassionate approach to supporting individuals with substance use challenges. Launched in 2023, R2R is designed to ensure clients receive the right care at the right time—meeting people where they are in their recovery journey.
At its core, R2R is grounded in evidence-based care that is person-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally safe. It recognizes that recovery is not linear and aims to provide seamless, continuous support—even through setbacks or relapses.
Current services include:
25 detox beds at St. Paul’s Hospital
20 transitional care beds for clients waiting to access treatment or long-term housing
The R2R Aftercare Team, launched in Fall 2024, which provides outreach and follow-up support in the community
This multi-phase initiative is expanding, with additional treatment and recovery services on the horizon.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Psychologist with the Road to Recovery program, you will play a key role in delivering compassionate, client-centered care. Reporting to the Program Director, Urban Health and Substance Use, and working under the clinical direction of the Professional Practice Leader for Psychology, you will support individuals throughout their recovery journey.
In this role, you will:
Provide psychological assessment, individual therapy, and group therapy to clients and their families
