Once you submit the Mental Health Intake Form a Mental Health Intake Worker will call you as soon as possible to complete a screening appointment. This is not a counselling appointment; it is a 20-minute screening appointment to assess your primary concern and identify which resources best meet your current needs and make referrals as deemed appropriate.
RFHT offers structured, short-term clinical services to those individuals ages16+ experiencing challenges in their life. Our focus is to educate and motivate individuals towards developing goals and skills that will support their mental and emotional well-being.
Please remember that clinical services do not allow space to support complex/long-term support/services. Clinical services are through a Trauma-Informed Lens that is not long-term treatment. Mental health intake screening assesses if a client’s needs fit within the scope of RFHT counselling services. Appropriate referral suggestions may be offered as part of the intake process.
RFHT has limited resources to be able to continue to provide free access to counselling services. Therefore, if a client does not require all 8 sessions within a 6-month time frame, the client will be discharged from mental health services. Clients who require counselling in the future are able to request an intake assessment 18 months from their last session.
