Counselling in Tagalog for Kelowna

The Okanagan's agricultural sector draws workers seasonally, including people here on work permits and a long way from home. That combination — temporary, working hard, isolated by language — is one of the harder ones there is, and it is also the one least likely to reach counselling, because everything about the situation says this is temporary and will be endured.

There is very little counselling delivered in Tagalog anywhere in the Interior. Video does not fix the isolation, but it does mean the person you talk to does not have to be found locally, which in the Okanagan is the difference between an option and none.

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.
