We offer counselling and support services to anybody in Ottawa who needs it. No matter what it is that you’re dealing with, we’re here to listen. We offer a safe space, and will help you work through whatever is troubling you.
Our programs are run by counsellors who are highly skilled and trained in each of our service areas. Family services staff and clients who have already benefited from our services are also involved in making our programs as helpful and successful as they are. We’re here. We’re available and we’re open.
Everything we do at family services is focused on helping our clients. Whether it’s an abusive relationship, coping with stress and anxiety, or adjusting to a divorce or separation, we have programs that can help. By helping the individuals who live in it, we help our community. There is nothing more satisfying than that.
A great way to understand what we do is to look at our annual reports. They will give you an understanding of the clients we’ve helped and how we helped them. They will also provide an overview of our services and programs as well as how we run them efficiently and cost effectively.
