About: We believe everyone should have access to quality health care, regardless of their ability to pay. All our mental health services are offered free of charge.
SNIWWOC is providing free therapy to low-income racialized women. Therapy sessions cost an average of $100 – $150 per session, and free counselling wait times sometimes as long as two years. This is a service that community members have requested and we’re excited to provide this service. BIPOC women deserve access to healing, and that healing will impact generations.
Our therapists help individuals impacted by a number of struggles, including racialized trauma, sexuality/gender identity issues, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, adjustment, system navigation difficulties, stress management issues, and negative thoughts.
Eligibility:
- Women Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour including transgender and two-spirit community members who are 18 years old or above;
- Must make less than the low-income cut-off line (submit the proof of income)* see the table below;
- Residents of all provinces and territories of Canada are eligible to apply.
