At ASPIRE Counselling, we tend to attract clients of Arab, Kurdish, Persian, Afghan and South Asian heritage. Many of our clients are newcomers in Canada.

Consistent with the mission and vision of Muslim Food Bank and Community Services, the ASPIRE Counselling program is designed to be affordable for clients who do not have extended health plans and who can pay less than the industry standard.

We offer various counselling options to accommodate different needs and financial situations. To learn more about potential eligibility for free sessions or to discuss payment options, please contact us via email at counselling@muslimfoodbank.com. We offer a sliding scale of $20–$70 per session for clients who qualify. Clients with extended health plans may use their coverage, but please note that we do not offer direct billing.
