Therapy shouldn’t feel out of reach. Through the NIHB program, eligible First Nations and Inuit clients can access therapy services at no cost.
Our team is here to help you understand what’s covered, confirm your eligibility, and connect you with a DiveThru therapist who’s the right fit for your needs.
Getting started with therapy has never been easier
