The British Columbia government is expanding access to free and affordable mental-health services for immigrant and refugee families on Vancouver Island.
A statement from the B.C. Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions says the province is providing $375,000 over three years to support child and youth counselling services at the Vancouver Island Counselling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees.
Counselling sessions at the centre are offered in a client's first language, when possible. The cost for services is based on a client's income, including free services if a client cannot afford it, the ministry said. Carter said the three-year grant will help the centre continue to provide affordable services for families.
