Cost should not stop you from getting support. Here are the common options.
- Workplace benefits: check which professions are covered and your yearly limit.
- Employee assistance programs: many employers offer short-term counselling.
- Community agencies: call 2-1-1 for lower-cost services nearby.
- First Nations and Inuit clients: NIHB Counselling explains the federal benefit.
Keep your receipts, as counselling costs may count as a medical expense in some cases. Ask a tax professional.
