Just Us Counselling

We don't wait for the car to completely break down before getting an oil change. We don't wait for a dental emergency before getting a checkup.

So why do we sometimes feel like our mental health has to reach a crisis point before we're “allowed” to ask for help?

Counselling isn't only for your hardest moments.

It can be a place to check in, work through stress, understand yourself better, navigate change or simply take care of your mental health before things become overwhelming. 💛

You don't have to wait for a crisis.

Just Us provides free and low-cost counselling across New Brunswick.

Workplace bullying can affect much more than your workday.

Being repeatedly criticized, intimidated, excluded or treated disrespectfully can take a toll on your confidence, stress levels and overall mental health.

You may not be able to control someone else's behaviour, but you can get support for what you're experiencing and how it's affecting you.

Counselling can give you a safe space to talk, process what's happening and find healthy ways to cope and move forward.

Just Us provides free and low-cost counselling across New Brunswick. 💛

If work is taking a toll on your mental health, we're here to help.

Meet Keillan Lavigne, one of our newest counselling interns! 💛

Keillan brings four years of experience working within the education system and a thoughtful, flexible approach to supporting others.

She has growing interests in stress management, emotional well-being, life transitions and relationship concerns, and believes counselling should be a collaborative process built around each person's own strengths, goals and experiences.

Keillan is based in our Fredericton office, and we’re very happy to welcome her to the Just Us team.

When we talk about workplace wellness, mental health needs to be part of the conversation. 💛

Stress, burnout and challenges outside of work can all affect how people feel and function during their workday, but many employees and managers aren't sure how to talk about mental health or where to begin.

That's where education can help.

Just Us offers workplace mental health workshops designed to give teams practical information, useful tools and a better understanding of mental health and well-being.

Whether you're looking to start the conversation or strengthen the support already available within your organization, a workshop can be a meaningful step toward a healthier workplace culture.

🏢 Businesses
🤝 Non-profits
👥 Community organizations
💛 Teams of all kinds

October is Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month, an opportunity to consider how our workplaces support health and well-being. It is also a good time to check in with yourself: How is work affecting you, and what might need to change?

Managing stress involves both personal support and workplace change. Unrealistic expectations, inadequate staffing and unhealthy workplace cultures need attention from employers. Individual coping strategies can help, but addressing the source of stress matters too.

Here are five practical ways to start. https://loom.ly/Lyo3djM

When you donate to Just Us, your generosity helps make free and low-cost counselling available to people who may otherwise face barriers to getting support. 💛

But there's another benefit you may not always think about: your charitable donation may also help at tax time.

Eligible donations to registered Canadian charities can qualify for federal and provincial or territorial non-refundable tax credits. You'll need your official donation receipt when claiming your donation, and eligible amounts you don't claim right away can generally be carried forward for up to five years.

So while you're supporting more accessible mental health care in New Brunswick, your generosity may also provide a tax benefit to you.

Give back. Make an impact. Keep your receipt. 💛

Tax situations vary. Please consult the CRA or a qualified tax professional for information specific to you.

Taking care of your mental health can feel even harder when finances are tight.

But supporting yourself doesn't always have to involve expensive memberships, wellness products or activities.

A short walk. A little time outside. Reaching out to someone you trust. Getting back to a basic routine. Even one small thing can be a place to start. 💛

And when you need more support, cost shouldn't be what stops you from reaching out.

Just Us provides free and low-cost counselling to help make mental health care more accessible across New Brunswick.

You don't have to do everything today. Start with what feels manageable.

This is exactly why the Just Us model matters. 💛

We're working to make mental health care more accessible today, while also helping prepare the counsellors who will support our communities tomorrow.

Through our internship program, Masters-level counselling interns gain valuable hands-on experience and mentorship while helping us provide free and low-cost counselling to people across New Brunswick.

Accessible care. Meaningful learning. Stronger communities.

Thank you to our community partners who recognize the importance of this work and continue to support what we're building together.
