Counselling in Tagalog for Campbell River

In the 2021 Census 400 Campbell River residents were counted as Filipino and 200 gave Tagalog as their mother tongue, about 0.6% of the city (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Profile). That is a real community, and a small one. People in it know each other’s families and often each other’s workplaces, so the worry about being seen going to counselling is sharper than it would be in Surrey or Vancouver, and it keeps people from asking at all.

Tagalog-speaking clinicians in BC are concentrated on the mainland, and from the North Island the mainland is the length of the Island Highway and a ferry. Video takes away the need to find that person in town. On the North Island, that turns a choice between counselling in English or none into one that includes Tagalog.

Sessions run in Tagalog, in English, or moving between the two as the conversation needs, which is what most bilingual people do without planning to. Nothing about the fee or the availability changes with the language.
