FAQs
We provide short-term counselling (maximum 12 sessions based on your needs assessment). Mental Health (MH) team members apply Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and/or Solution Focused therapy depending on what best fits your issues/concerns.
Among the main reasons for seeking counselling within our team are adjustment issues, unresolved grief, emotional management, mild depression and anxiety symptoms, interpersonal conflict.
Referrals can be made by community workers, or self-referrals. You should call the centralized intake team at MNLCT and once your file and your needs assessment are created, the intake worker will make the referral to the Mental Health (MH) team. The first appointment is scheduled with one of our MH intake workers. During the mental health interview (phone interview or in-person), the MH intake worker will assess your current situation, and will determine if we can provide the mental health services needed in our organization. If you meet the requirements to receive the service internally, an appointment will be booked with a counsellor for further support.
Currently we offer counselling in English, Arabic, Farsi, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
Yes, but the length of the waiting list depends on staff availability. However, the team tries to keep the waiting list short.
We are a team of internationally trained counsellors/psychologists. Some are staff, volunteers, interns, or placement students who might not yet have a license in Canada. Those who are not registered provide services under supervision.
We provide our services to all newcomers who need emotional support to overcome the cultural shock as they integrate in a new society.
Services are offered in a hybrid model: online/by phone, and/or in-person.
The Farsi- and Spanish-speaking Women’s Groups, and the Spanish-speaking Men’s Group are culturally specific peer groups who gather once a week to support and learn from each other. These groups help to reduce isolation by developing a sense of connection and social communication. You can join these groups by expressing your interest during the centralized intake process or to your community worker.
