of Cowichan citizens who are going through rough patches. The work that we do has always been important, but now more than ever before as we are seeing increased demand for our services due to COVID-19.

W

e are excited to announce that the Cowichan Family Life Association office is open again for in-person counselling.

We offer counselling services to individuals who are suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and loneliness via telephone, Zoom and now in person again.

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of this amazing organization, which quietly helps thousands

We offer packages of 8 – 1 hour sessions based on a sliding scale on your ability to pay with a

cap of $30 per hour however no one is ever turned away for inability to pay. Our clinical in-take counsellor will speak with you and match you with the counsellor who would be best to help you. If another block of 8 sessions is required we will assess the situation and can provide additional support. Our sessions are confidential so that you do not have to worry about your privacy. CFLA is unique in that it is all inclusive, we are open to everyone. We support all individuals and families no matter their personal or financial situation. We focus on strengthening each client and the family unit, thus our community. All visitors are asked to observe the Covid-19 protocols in place when visiting our offices. We ask that you arrive no sooner than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment and ask that you wear a mask and sanitize your hands when you come in.

Each counselling room has a door where you can exit without having to return to the reception area. The counselling room allows for 6’ distancing between yourself and your counsellor and the room is disinfected before the next client is seen. We stagger each appointment by 15 minutes so that each client does not intersect with the next person.
