Clinical Services

A safe space for individuals and families to address emotional and mental health

Our counsellors provide a non-judgmental and supportive space so individuals and families can feel safe expressing themselves. We specialize in working with children, youth and adults who have experienced trauma and loss, but our counsellors also have expertise in a variety of complex issues including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, attachment, family relationships, and much more.

Our Clinical team is dedicated to providing quality clinical assessment, counselling, psychoeducation and clinical consultation services based on the individual needs and goals.

Our approach is informed by client centered, strength based, trauma informed and Bio-Psycho-Socio/Cultural, Evidence based practice.

Integrative Behaviour Support

WJS Canada’s Integrative Behaviour Support Services helps adults and children develop socially acceptable behaviours and make connection in their communities. These services focus on developing parent and support worker skills and enhancing other resources to help people overcome challenges and improve their lives.

We design workshops for families, caregivers, staff and educators who work with individuals with disabilities and/or behavioural issues. We provide a range of workshops, consultation and training opportunities that cover such topics as proactive strategizing, crisis assessment and understanding restrictive procedures.

"The individuals I work with make me happy and motivated to come to work every day – I do this for them! I enjoy seeing them gain independence and happiness."

"A lot of the time people tend to pity someone with disabilities but it’s not pity that they need. They need to be treated for who they are, with respect."

"I think it’s so important we create a place where kids feel safe to grow, to find out who they are, and be able to take that into the world as adults."

"Thank you for all your help, I would not have gotten to where I am today without staff’s help."

"I feel there is so much opportunity moving forward with WJS. We have the chance to really make a difference..."

I love my position at WJS. The flexibility, the environment, and the vision of the organization works well with the balance and beliefs in my personal life."

"WJS is such a kind environment, they care very much about meeting the needs of both clientele and staff. I'm glad to be part of an organization that does such meaningful work for the well-being of others."
