First Nations, Inuit, & Métis Services
The Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program is a national program that provides coverage to eligible registered First Nations and Inuit.
Under this program, Skerrett Psychology provides Short-Term Crisis Intervention Mental Health Counselling up to a maximum of 15 one-hour sessions. The client comes in for an initial assessment and funding is requested from Health Canada. A status card is required for participation. Once approved, the client is able to return for counselling sessions. There is no fee to the client for the initial assessment if funding is not approved.
