Extended Therapy Services

Clinical Counselling for Children 6-12

This program aims to offer mental health services for children 6-12 years of age. 

Mental health issues in children present as difficulties with regulation, anger, anxiety, specific trauma, depression, and attachment issues. These issues may manifest as behavioral issues at home and in school. 

Parent/Caregiver support and involvement is required for this program!

This program provides parents and caregivers access to mental health services for children in Port Alberni on a fee-for-services basis. We will work with the family to access funding to pay for this service to minimize any direct cost to the family. Funding sources may include employee benefits, First Nations Health Authority funding, Victim Services, CKNW, Jordan's Principal funding or private payment for counselling services. 

Referral forms can be found under the tab REFER/CONNECT TO SERVICES.

Please contact Outreach Therapy at 250-723-1117 or programs@outreachtherapy.org for more information about services and fees.
