Community Counselling
Counselling Services are available for women, youth, children and men who have been abused, at risk for abuse, and/or are abusive. Abusive behaviours and their generational sources are explored in a caring, non-judgmental way. The commitment to this holistic healing process may be long term, based on the needs of the individual.
