In person. Wapan only matches for in-person counselling: a counsellor in or near North Bay you can sit across from.

Honestly, no. NIHB doesn't cover Métis or non-status people, and Wapan is built around covered care. The Métis Nation of Ontario may cover counselling for citizens, and Friendship Centres and community health centres can point you to low-cost care near North Bay.

An introduction takes days, and a crisis can't wait. Call Hope for Wellness at 1-855-242-3310 or call or text 988. Both are free, confidential and open 24/7.
