FNHA Resources

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) offers a Mental Wellness and Counselling (MWC) Benefit to eligible First Nations people living in BC with Indian status. This benefit covers counselling sessions with registered psychologists, clinical counsellors, and social workers. If you are going through a difficult time and need support, this page walks you through what is covered, how to access a provider, and how to find out if you are eligible. Telehealth options are also available for those who prefer virtual appointments.

This downloadable PDF from the FNHA provides a searchable list of mental health providers who are registered with the Health Benefits Program. To receive coverage for counselling services, you must see a provider on this list. If you are looking for a counsellor near you or want to confirm a provider's registration, this is a helpful place to start.
