Another organization is stepping up to provide free counselling services in Whitehorse, as the first layoffs for employees at Many Rivers Counselling and Support Services become effective Friday. The Yukon division of the Canadian Mental Health Association is offering drop-in and short-term counselling until the end of March. Workers at Many Rivers walked off the job in early November, and the strike lasted 11 weeks. Tasane says the free services do not include family counselling or substance abuse counselling at this point. Drop-in counselling is offered on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
