When a client is referred to the Carewest OSI Clinic, we review any prior treatment information provided by the referral source. This review, combined with a comprehensive psychological or psychiatric assessment at the clinic, helps us determine the presence of an operational stress injury, associated mental health diagnoses, and treatment recommendations tailored to the client’s unique needs.
Veterans and members will be actively involved in setting goals and making treatment decisions. If an OSI is identified, they may choose to engage in evidence-based treatment offered by our multidisciplinary team at the Carewest Operational Stress Injury Clinic or be referred to other specialized services and connections in the community, as deemed appropriate.
With client authorization, the Carewest OSI Clinic collaborates with and supports family physicians and other health professionals involved in their care.
Our services are offered in-person, at our Calgary-based clinic and our Red Deer-based satellite office, and through Zoom, allowing veterans and members the option of assessment and treatment from the comfort of their home community.
