Burden Bearers Counselling of Alberta provides professional, affordable and inclusive counselling to Individuals and families regardless of their ability to pay. We strive to expand the reach and impact of therapeutic interventions and thereby advance community wellbeing. Research shows that when one person in a "system" finds healthier coping and well-being skills, it has a impact on the "system" as a whole. Being able to help one person increase their health and well-being has the potential to affect others within the family system, the community system and the cultural system. People with improved life skills are more productive and effective in relationships, whether with their children, parents, employers, employees and spouses. This means that with these improved strategies for flourishing in life, people are better resourced for thriving in a community.
In order to provide these life changing services Burden Bearers Counselling of Alberta relys heavily on donations and fundraising. We cannot do it alone! Individuals and Businesses in our Community have graciously supported our efforts in the past. Over the 2025 year we have faced some challenges and had to restructure our Non-Profit organization. This means Community support is needed more now than ever before. We look forward to these changes and see great things in the future for Burden Bearers Counselling of Alberta!
