BESS Counselling
Why we created this program
For survivors of intimate partner violence, trauma affects every aspect of their lives and can severely impact employability and self-sufficiency.
About Our BESS Counselling Services
A Self-Sufficiency Counsellor is a key part of the BESS team, helping to facilitate healing from psychological trauma resulting from intimate partner violence. The Counsellor works one-on-one with clients to provide non-clinical counselling to address some of the barriers that stand between a survivor and their goals.
Our Goals
We aim to help our clients continue on their healing process, reduce the barriers to employability and ultimately hone the skills to obtain and maintain employment and life stability.
