This funding is available for 18-35 year old Calgary-area residents who cannot afford to pay for private counselling services. If you have funding available through school, family, or work benefits, please use that funding and allow others who do not have these options to apply for the Barrier Free Counselling.
You will be asked to provide evidence of financial need. Approval will be based on Income (under $35,000/ year) and whether or not you have access to health benefits through other programs.
If you are approved for funding, you will receive an email indicating next steps. A therapist will contact you to set up an appointment and determine appropriate treatment goals. Please note that if approved, there is a limit of 8 sessions, which must be used within 4 months. Accepted applicants must adhere to the therapist’s cancellation policies. The funding may be cancelled at any time if you cannot commit to the counselling program requirements. Your personal information will be stored in accordance with FOIP guidelines.
