NIHB counselling in Québec: questions.

Yes. 5 counsellors in Québec 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 Québec 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 Québec.

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.
