Addictions & Mental Health Counseling
Funded by Island Health, the Mental Health and Addictions program continues to provide quality counseling services to members of the Port Alberni and surrounding communities.
The program is available to all members of the community and strives to meet their needs in a friendly, compassionate and professional manner. Using holistic, evidence based approaches to healing, the program offers both individual and couples counseling tailored to the specific needs of each individual. The PAFC mental health and addiction service provides individual, couple, and group treatment to a primarily Indigenous population in the Port Alberni area.
The counseling service is heavily focused on providing assessment and treatment services to individuals with moderate to severe mental health and addiction issues. In some instances, counseling is a precursor for clients or families who wish to obtain a referral to an inpatient treatment program for a much more in-depth and specialized treatment experience.
Internally, counseling services continue to incorporate both early childhood development and family support services to ensure a coordinated approach is being developed for families with MCFD and usma concerns. This team approach enhances all stake holders' abilities to accurately assess and develop viable plans of actions that will solve real world problems.
