Our Doctors

How does counselling at the Chilliwack Youth Health Centre work?

Counsellors are available to speak with young people about a range of concerns; anxiety, fears, and stress; depression and sadness; relationships with family and friends; schooling; substance use; grief and loss; suicidal thoughts; eating; sleep; sexuality; unhelpful behavioural patterns; and unusual thoughts, for example.

Counselling at our sites of the Chilliwack Youth Health Centre is provided by university students from a variety of programs such as counselling psychology and social work. All counselling sessions are delivered under the supervision of senior clinicians from helping agencies in Chilliwack.

A brief, solution focussed counselling model is employed. This is meant to focus conversation on the immediate concerns of the young person and to have them leave with a short term plan. Young people can come back as often as they want. They are not guaranteed continuity of counsellors, although on occasion this can be arranged.

Counsellors check regularly with our supervisors and if the presenting problems seems to warrant this, young people are encouraged to follow up with other counselling resources or mental health resources, either through Child and Youth Mental Health, other community agencies, our doctors, paediatrician or psychiatrist. If more intensive professional supports are required, our counsellors and their supervisors will recommend them and assist with making those links.”

Young people arriving at the Chilliwack Secondary, Neighbourhood of Learning site will be greeted by Brandi Carlow or one of our team members. Brandi is a Child and Youth Care Practitioner who will assist the young person to complete the necessary paperwork and be linked with an appropriate counsellor.
