SYDNEY, N.S. — The province has launched a free single-session therapy program to provide early and brief intervention for mild and moderate mental health ...
concerns the new pilot program can assist with include anxiety, job loss, grief, relationship issues and substance use.
If a client needs extra services or additional support, their action plan will include information about other community resources they can explore. “Speaking from a Cape Bretoner perspective, is because they can’t pay for the service, so this is a free service for Nova Scotians, so this is a great day.”
Staff will consist of one clinical supervisor and 11 therapists across the four locations. Primarily, they will be registered counselling therapists and clinical therapists, social workers with advanced training in addictions and mental health care. “I certainly think that the hospital system will always have a need in terms of complex issues sort of care. This should act as another relief valve to take the pressure off the system.”One-on-one service for those 18 and olderAlso provides online and over-the-phone consultations for the rest of the provinceBook appointments directly by calling 1-833-691-2282 seven days a week between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
“What they realized and what the evidence shows is that there is often times people get takeaways that they can go with and put to practice immediately. That’s the effectiveness of single-session therapy. It’s not meant to fix everything but it is something that provides that support and that continuum of care.”
