Funded Partners
Partner Perspective
GH was navigating long-term unemployment,
financial uncertainty, and the loss of stability
and routine. Hesitant to commit to ongoing
therapy, he accessed Camino Wellbeing +
Mental Health’s single-session counselling
through the Counselling Collaborative. A
therapist validated his experience, provided
practical coping strategies, and connected
him with additional resources. GH left with
greater stability, tools to manage stress, and
confidence to seek support again. Without
timely access to care, many people may never
take that first step.
