In person. Wapan only matches for in-person counselling: a counsellor in or near Kentville you can sit across from.
Honestly, no. NIHB doesn't cover Métis or non-status people, and Wapan is built around covered care. A Métis organization in your region may offer supports, and Friendship Centres and community health centres can point you to low-cost care near Kentville.
