The first step in counselling is to speak with an Intake Worker. When you call the office you will be given a telephone appointment with the Intake worker. This appointment is usually within 2 weeks. When you talk to the Intake worker they will tell you about how long you may have to wait for counselling in the location you are interested in. The Intake Worker can also provide you with some immediate support and strategies to use while you are waiting.
