Mental Wellness and Substance Use Services provides a variety of services, including:
- individual counselling;
- group counselling;
- support in accessing treatment options and withdrawal management services;
- outreach services including harm reduction; and

Although a psychiatry consultation may be a part of your wellness program, if you want to meet only with a psychiatrist, book an appointment with your family doctor.
