Trauma Counselling
Trauma counselling can help people to manage the challenging effects of traumatic experiences. All sessions are private and free.
Trauma Counselling: Who it’s for and how it works
Trauma counselling is for anyone age 18 and older who has experienced trauma related to abuse, violence and/or neglect.
Everyone’s story is different, and trauma looks different for everyone. No matter what you’ve been through, we’re here to listen and help.
If you are in crisis and support right away, call one of our crisis lines and talk to someone immediately.
Please call 204-784-4059 or email counsellingintake@klinic.mb.ca. We will schedule an appointment to talk about what you need and whether our program might meet your needs. If this program is not the right fit for you, we will help connect you with an appropriate service.
Call us at 204-784-4059 or email counsellingintake@klinic.mb.ca.
