Counseling Support for Youth, Families and Individuals
Tantalus Wellspring Society will subsidize up to 5 counseling sessions. Funding may be provided for additional sessions if recommended by the therapist and funding is available. No demonstration of financial need or other financial information is required, as we trust that this program will be utilized by those who need it.
We will reimburse pre-approved sessions up to the following limits: $140 for each individual session, and $165 for each group/family session, based on the amounts recommended by the BC Association of Clinical Counselors (https://bcacc.ca/how-to-choose-a-counsellor/).
We envision a community where mental health supports are financially accessible to all community members. If you are in need of financial assistance to access professional mental health services, please complete the intake form below and a member of our team will reach out to you directly.
** Due to the huge response and high demand for assistance, we are pausing new intakes to ensure we can fully meet the needs of all those who have applied for support.
Our fundraising efforts are ongoing and we will re-open intakes as new funds are available.
If you find yourself in need of immediate help, CALL 911.
