New Mental Health Counselling Service for Nova Scotians

The Nova Scotia Government is making it easier to access supportive counselling. Through the Access Wellness service, adults, couples, and families can book a free 1-hour session of counselling with a mental health professional.

Counsellors can help you develop an action plan, which might include self-directed strategies or referrals to other mental health and addiction services.

In-person, online or phone appointments can be booked directly calling 1-833-691-2282 (8 am to 11 pm) or visiting AccessWellnessNovaScotia.ca.

In-person locations: Halifax, Kentville, New Glasgow, and Sydney.

If this is an emergency, or if you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call the Provincial Mental Health Crisis Line toll-free at 1-888-429-8167 or call 911.
