The Psychologists’ Association of Alberta is offering free counselling sessions throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The PAA’s Disaster Response Network will provide between one and three pro-bono sessions with volunteer psychologists for those experiencing distress throughout this time, prioritizing health care providers and first responders who have been traumatized by recent events. It is not a crisis line, nor a referral service for long-term therapy. To access the sessions, call the PAA office toll free at 1-888-424-0297. 5
