We’re honoured to be featured in New Canadians for highlighting the impact of the BREM program and the internationally trained psychotherapists rebuilding their careers in Ontario.

The article explores the real challenges internationally educated mental health professionals face — complex registration requirements, limited supervised opportunities, and navigating a highly regulated system — and how structured guidance can make the difference between feeling stuck and moving forward.

BREM bridges that gap by helping professionals understand CRPO standards, supervision expectations, and ethical frameworks so they can confidently re-enter Ontario’s mental health workforce.

Ontario is one of the most multicultural places in the world — and its mental health workforce should reflect that.

We’re proud to help internationally trained psychotherapists find their place in Ontario’s mental health sector — and strengthen care for everyone.

Avideh came to Ontario with the education, experience, and passion to help others — but like many internationally trained professionals, navigating the path into the mental health workforce wasn’t straightforward.

Ontario’s mental health system needs skilled, diverse professionals. If you’re ready to align your experience with provincial standards and re-enter your field with purpose, BREM is your next step.
