PARTNER PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT!

This week, we're highlighting Kindred's Rapid Access Counselling program. This service uses a single-session model, meaning each appointment is a standalone session designed to provide immediate support. If more help is needed, clients are welcome to book additional sessions as needed.

Kindred is rooted in the value of human connection, helping clients find stability and structure during times of crisis or ongoing challenges.

Community Connect YYC is proud to showcase this incredible program, which supports so many Calgarians in accessing timely mental health care.

If this program sounds right for you, don't wait. Book through Community Connect YYC's easy and reliable online booking portal.

Thank you for everything you do, Kindred!
