Are you an Indigenous person looking to improve your wellbeing?
If so, you can receive Counselling through the First Nations and Inuit Health Program for individuals in need of support.
Your sessions will be billed under the the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program and the Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program.
The program is open to you if you are:
- a First Nations person registered under the Indian Act
- an Inuk person recognized by an Inuit Land Claim organization
- not otherwise covered under a separate agreement or health care plan
Most importantly, you will receive an initial assessment session, as well as up to 20 sessions depending on your needs.
What Can You Expect?
We provide holistic, wellbeing-based counselling for people struggling in life, work, or relationships. Our compassionate, mindfulness-based counselling can help if you have been diagnosed with a mental illness such as depression, anxiety, PTSD or addiction.
Our goal isn't just to address your symptoms, it is to improve you quality of life. Most importantly, you can expect to receive anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed counselling.
You can meet with a Counsellor in-Person in Bedford or New Minas Nova Scotia. In addition, you can receive Counselling Online anywhere in Canada.
