In a single session, individuals can address their immediate concerns with a trained healthcare professional, who will help individuals explore and understand their problems and assist in forming solutions. Attending a walk-in session does not sign the individual up for counselling, but rather helps to address their immediate concerns. Together, the individual and the counsellor will form a treatment plan.
Further addresses an individual's presenting mental health issue through up to three brief, solution-focused sessions. Depending on the outcome of these sessions, patients may be referred to other supports by their counsellor.

Brief counselling helps to connect patients with the appropriate services and resources needed to help improve their overall wellbeing and functioning.
Group and individual therapy sessions promote stabilization and necessary ongoing care, treatment, and transition for individuals experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues or concerns.
