Support Groups (Therapeutic Group Programs)
QuIHN offers a range of therapeutic and psychosocial group programs for people whose lives are affected by substance use and any related mental health and/or parenting and family issues that may be present.
Our group programs complement the individual counselling we provide and are influenced by the same client centred approach.
QuIHN is a SPER Hardship partner. Talk to our staff about how you can pay off your SPER debt by attending our groups.
