Intercommunity`s mental health and well-being strategy focuses on the importance of raising mental health awareness, reducing stigma, advocacy, providing support services, and promoting well-being. We support individuals on their journey of recovery and help them cope, develop skills, and reintegrate into the broader communities. We work collaboratively with clients, family members, mental health agencies, organizations, and the communities to address mental health and addiction issues and to response to disasters.
Counselling Services
People are often vulnerable to or face challenges or life-threatening events at different stages in their lives, which may negatively impact their quality of lives. Counselling is a process that practically and psychologically empowers people to address or deal more effectively with their challenges and problems. The Counselling Service is a formal professional service provided by our trained and professional counselling team to address a wide range of social, psychological, emotional, and behavioural issues and challenges facing individuals, families, and communities. The Counselling Service helps people to understand their challenges, improve coping skills, reduce distress and suffering, strengthen relationships, enhance social support, build resiliency and self-empowerment, reduce risk factors, and improve their well-being.
