Counselling Through First Nations Health Authority (FNHA)
The FNHA works with BC First Nations, government partners and others to improve health outcomes for BC First Nations people.
Your benefit covers counselling services from a qualified mental health provider. Mental health providers include psychologists, clinical counsellors and social workers. The mental health provider must be registered with Health Benefits.
Mental Health and Wellness Counselling in BC may be eligible for Health Benefits coverage. Many providers are registered to bill Health Benefits directly for services, so clients do not have to pay out of pocket.
Identify a counsellor by phoning 1-855-550-5454 or visiting this page, to check if they are registered and if the service is eligible for coverage.
