Counsellors meet with individuals & families to create a safe, compassionate, and dignified working relationship to help:
- Clarify needs
- Connect with their strengths and wisdom
- Increase self-awareness
- Share and identify helpful perspectives, skills, and actions
- Access further supports
Individuals & families are supported in strengthening relationships and increasing healthy communication patterns while exploring possibilities for addressing any issues presented. Counsellors employ various strategies in working with families: Family Systems Theory is a key method utilized.
