The Intake Appointment: 

• This appointment will be over the phone with one of our Social Workers and takes approximately 30 minutes. 
   
• The purpose of this appointment is to gather more information about your current situation/symptoms and what kind of support you are looking for. 
   
• During this appointment you may be directed to community resources that are the most appropriate for the support you are looking for. 
   
• We will assess if it is most appropriate for you to engage in individual therapy or group therapy through the North Durham Family Health Team or access resources in the community. 
  

• DO YOU HAVE EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS? If you have coverage for counselling, we will direct you towards private therapists in your area that you may contact. We encourage you to seek these services to reserve North Durham Family Health Team services for those who do not have coverage or cannot afford services. 

Please note mental health programming through the North Durham Family Health Team is intended for patients with mild to moderate mental health concerns. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact:
