Affordable Counselling
Clinical Internship Program
We believe mental health resources and support services should be available to all. Our Clinical Internship Program provides our community with low-cost counselling options. This program includes Psychotherapist and Social Work Students who will continue building skills in working with children and youth through direct client counselling.
