Counseling Services
If you or your family members are experiencing emotional distress or obstacles that prevent you from obtaining your goals, we invite you to meet with our trained social workers for psychotherapy. In a safe and supportive environment, you and your therapist can explore challenges and reduce stress.
Finding the Right Resources
After the initial shock of being diagnosed with a condition or an illness wears off, people are often bombarded with resources or do not know where to turn for assistance. Social workers at CHRC can help find the right resources for each individual during any life stage, whether his or her needs can be met at CHRC, within the community or through a governmental agency.
