Colin Chan

Director of Clinical Services, Community Rehabilitation Services
CBI Health

Colin Chan is an Occupational Therapist with CBI Health. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 2004 and from Queen's University with a Master's in Occupational Therapy in 2006. 

As an Occupational Therapist (OT) he works with clients experiencing physical, cognitive, and/or emotional difficulties, and regardless of the diagnosis, his focus is on restoring function and helping clients return to activities and lives that are meaningful. His work has been in clinic, working within multi-disciplinary teams, but in more recent years, in community, working closely with clients in their homes, their communities, and their workplaces. 

Colin currently acts as the Director of Clinical Services in the Psychological Trauma Community Rehabilitation Program at CBI Health, where he leads a team of 100+ OTs across the province in delivering the highest quality care to individuals who have experienced trauma, helping them to build resilience, to achieve post traumatic growth, and to ultimately continue to live life following trauma. 

Colin believes that there is hope for all individuals, and that with the right care and treatment, from the right clinician, people can do better than just cope with their symptoms. Rather, individuals can actually be better, and move forward from their trauma once and for all. Specifically, Colin and his team work with First Responders to navigate the complexities of recovering from operational stress injuries in the context of WSIB and their workplace.
