What is Counselling?

After an individual does an intake in the Alluriarniq Program you have the option of meeting with a counsellor regularly. We recognize that counseling can be a new and scary step for service users to try and we applaud you for taking the brave first step of seeing a counsellor.
Counseling is driven by service users and it is necessary that the service user feels the power to take counseling and the healing process where they want to take it.

If you choose to do counseling, you will also be in the driver’s seat.
