Counselling and Therapy

Counselling can be an essential part of coping with and recovering from a mental illness, both for the person living with a mental illness and for their loved ones.

AMI-Quebec offers free counselling for caregivers (families and friends of someone living with mental illness). Please click HERE for more information.

Please note: we have support groups for people living with mental health problems and illnesses but we do not offer counselling services for them. Contact the organizations below for counselling for individuals suffering from mental health issues, including art therapy, and counselling for family members. Most offer free services or charge on a sliding scale.
