Thanks for your interest in receiving counselling with our Community Counselling Program.

This free program is being offered by CCS without a funding source. Availability of counsellors is limited to the student counsellors we have available and the guidelines of their placement with us. See profiles of our current counsellors here.

This program is staffed by supervised counselling students, so there is the possibility that the intake form or intake appointment will identify that your situation is beyond the scope of our uncertified counselors. Complex mental health diagnoses or trauma as the main reason for seeking counselling are not a fit for this service.   Navigating life changes, problem solving, low level anxiety/depression/stress are examples of situations that likely fit this program. 

If you identify as aboriginal, you may be eligible for services which could be accessed via the Ktunaxa Nation Regional Health Center Ktunaxa Nation Regional Health Centre : Ktunaxa Nation

If you would prefer to complete this form in-person or over the phone, contact our reception at 250.426.2976.
