Back on February 24, 2018 we held our first ever 80s Dance Party fundraiser. The event was hosted by Smile ‘n’ Wave, Southern Ontario’s #1 80s New Wave Cover Band and presented by Annette Blake. About 400 people attended at the Schwaben Club and danced the night away in support of the accessible mental health services offered by KW Counselling Services.

Last year, we celebrated 10 years of our Walk In Counselling Clinic. I have been fortunate enough to work at the agency for six of those years – five of them as an Intake Worker – and in that period I have seen how much we are constantly improving and trying to make the process easier for everybody, especially our clients!

Still, for many people this way of accessing counselling is very new from the traditional way of being assigned to someone and seeing them regularly. I also find that there are many misconceptions about how the service works. I hope this post will help you know what to expect.
