Short-Term Counselling

The KMFRC provides Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) families, including the ill and injured with confidential, short-term clinical counselling. Sessions are solution-focused and are often most effective when families access this service when challenges are first identified. Longer term counselling is also available through KMFRC’s Community Resource Connection Program generously funded by United Way.

Crisis Support

If a crisis occurs, the KMFRC is here to help connect you to resources, whether it be support available to military families or resources to help you with your personal well-being.
