She currently provides psychological assessment, treatment, skills training for prevention and performance enhancement, and RTW rehabilitation services to adults through her private practice. She previously worked at the CAMH for many years and held a leadership role at one of the largest compensation boards in North America.

Learn With Dr. Couperthwaite at Education Day 2023: Individualized Proactive Self-Care Wellness and Action Planning
A Self-care Wellness and Action Plans (SWAP) is a tool used for prevention of mental health injuries and promotion and maintenance of mental health wellness. Learn about individualized SWAPs for people working in high trauma sectors and view samples with information entered by first responders. Participants will be provided a SWAP template to create their own individualized SWAP.
Participants will also learn about how to prepare oneself in the event of an Occupational Stress Injury (OSI) claim with a Worker’s Compensation Board. Learn how to navigate the claim system to prevent distress and OSI aggravation that can sometimes result from lack of knowledge of the claims process, roles, and available services.
