Getting mental health support in Huron and Perth Counties is now a little easier, with a new walk-in counselling program available to people aged 16 and older.
Huron-Perth Walk-In Counselling is offering therapy sessions without the need for an appointment.
The program is a partnership between several local health and mental health organizations, including Huron Health System, Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance, CMHA Huron Perth, CMHA Thames Valley and Medavie Mobile Mental Health.
The goal is to make it easier for people to get support when they need it, without having to wait for an appointment.
People can walk in for a counselling session and return for support again whenever they need it.
Organizers say the program also helps connect people with other mental health services and supports in the community.
A full schedule of walk-in counselling locations and times is available through the Huron Health System website. People can also call the Huron-Perth Helpline and Crisis Response Team at 1-888-829-7484 for more information.
