Regaining Meaning

For those that have been away from work for years or decades, the goal is often vocational rehabilitation with a return to a meaningful role in society, work, or volunteering.

Rapid Resolution

The Newly Institute’s evidence-based treatment programs provide patients with a successful and sustainable return-to-work plan.

Our return-to-work programming offers rapid access, rapid resolution of symptoms, and a rapid return to work. The program is designed for those who have recently been placed on leave from work or are looking to return to their workplace.

Factors associated with positive return-to-work outcomes include participating in the scheduling, work modification or accommodations as necessary, and return-to-work coordination. Working with employers or case managers throughout treatment allows us to tailor a plan that works for everyone.

It has widely been shown that a supported, clear, and gradual return-to-work strategy provides the best outcomes with support from occupational experts. We will assist in the transition back to work with any needed supports from our experienced occupational health team. It is important for clients who are off work and attending The Newly Institute to keep in touch with one or two contacts from their workplace to help reduce the anxiety associated with their eventual return.

Rapid Access

The longer someone is away from work, the more difficult it is to return. Data suggests the majority will not return to work after being away one year or longer and yet returning to work is a key piece of the recovery path. When someone needs to be off work to take care of physical or mental health, having a sound strategy in place is imperative for enabling a successful return to the workplace.

Rapid Resolution of Symptoms

Our unique curriculum is dedicated to not just rapidly resolving the symptoms that led to leaving the workplace, but to rapidly returning to the workplace and living a healthy and meaningful life. Individualized planning begins on the day our clients begin our program. The workplace is known to markedly affect the mental health of employees and can be a protective factor that helps facilitate a positive return-to-work. We are happy to work directly with employers to improve resiliency training or facilitate a more supportive and accommodating environment when needed.

First
Responders

In the past few years, there has been increased discussion about first responders and the mental health issues they face. First responders are repeatedly exposed to distressing situations, violence, trauma, and death. They also encounter daily workplace stressors such as heavy workloads, rotating shifts, and, occasionally, discrimination and bullying. We have worked with many first responder organizations coast to coast to help manage the road to mental wellness.

We connect daily with first responders to continue dialogue around various mental wellness opportunities and different modalities of rehabilitation and healing.

Our programs are based on evidence and data but our approach is personal because we know it’s vital that people feel safe to be vulnerable during this process.

A significant portion of veterans experience mental health problems that affect not only them but their partners and families’ income and quality of life. Left untreated, these problems can lead to disability leave and increase the risk of suicide. Coverage for mental health assessment and treatment services is subject to provincial/territorial healthcare plans and varies across the country.

Our veterans deserve the best support, without question. To ensure they receive it, we designed much of our programming with the assistance of veteran advisors. Our cutting-edge intensive outpatient program is based on personal experiences from veterans who have taken the first step towards healing in programs like ours. Our advisors will guide you through these novel therapies as they understand not only what you have been through, but also the daily struggles you may face. We will work with you from initial consultation, through your treatment and beyond to ensure long-term wellness and resiliency.

Return to Work Services

Return-to-work services are for people unable to work due to physical or mental health reasons. The longer someone is away from work, the more difficult it is to return, and data suggests the majority will not return to work after being away for one year or longer. For those who have been off work for many years, vocational rehabilitation is often the goal to return to a meaningful role in society or through volunteering to increase quality of life.

Addictions Programming


Many people use alcohol or drugs to reduce the intrusive thoughts, poor sleep, and even nightmares that result from childhood traumas or a specific traumatic event. Failure to treat the underlying trauma and consequent mental health conditions of those trying to recover from addiction leads to a predictably high risk of relapse.

The Newly Institute is dedicated to treating trauma and other comorbid mental health disorders to help people recover and stay recovered from addiction.
