How NIHB counselling works in Fort McMurray
- Tell us what you need. A short, private intake: what's going on, who you'd feel comfortable with, and that you're in or near Fort McMurray.
- We find the fit. A real person reads it and checks fit and availability with NIHB-enrolled counsellors in Fort McMurray, and calls them for you.
- You meet in person. We make a warm introduction. The counsellor bills NIHB directly, so your sessions cost $0.

Questions
NIHB counselling in Fort McMurray: questions.
Yes, if you're eligible. Status First Nations people and Inuit enrolled with a land claim organization pay $0. The NIHB-enrolled counsellors in Fort McMurray bill the program directly, so you never see an invoice, a receipt or a reimbursement form.
Browse the 14 counsellors on this page and tap “Request an introduction” on anyone who feels right, or start a free intake and a real person matches you. Either way, we contact the counsellor personally, check fit and availability, and make a warm introduction. No cold calls on your end.
Yes. 2 counsellors in Fort McMurray self-identify as Indigenous. If that matters to you, say so in your intake and we'll match on it first.
NIHB mental health counselling covers up to 22 hours a year for eligible First Nations and Inuit people. If you need more, your counsellor can request an extension through NIHB. That's their paperwork, not yours.
In person. Wapan only matches for in-person counselling: a counsellor in or near Fort McMurray you can sit across from.
Honestly, no. NIHB doesn't cover Métis or non-status people, and Wapan is built around NIHB-covered care. The Otipemisiwak Métis Government (formerly the Métis Nation of Alberta) may cover counselling for citizens, and Friendship Centres and community health centres can point you to low-cost care near Fort McMurray.
