The majority of our services are self-refer.

How can I sign up for a group?

How do I register for services?

How much do your services cost?

Our policy is to ensure that if you need counselling, you can access counselling here. Some of our individual counselling programs do have fees on a sliding scale based on income. If fees would be a barrier to you, please reach out so we can ensure your access to counselling.

Where can I park?

Client parking is available across the street in the city hall parking lot, or by using the metered parking on nearby roads.

Will I get an appointment right away?

Services are offered as quickly as possible and according to service demand. Wait times vary for each program. Intake Workers will do their best to estimate how long it will be before you can expect an appointment time.
