Questions
NIHB counselling in Lac La Biche: 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 Lac La Biche bill the program directly, so you never see an invoice, a receipt or a reimbursement form.
Browse the 4 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. 1 counsellor in Lac La Biche self-identifies 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 Lac La Biche 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 Lac La Biche.
