About Us

Since 1994, Turning Points Counselling Services (Parkland Turning Points Society) has walked alongside adults impacted by intimate partner and family violence across the Tri-Region. We believe healing is possible when people are met with dignity, safety, and compassionate care, regardless of their ability to pay. All of our counselling and groups are free and trauma-informed.

The Opportunity

Join a small, mission-driven team and offer brief, one-to-one therapy that helps someone feel safe, seen, and hopeful again. You’ll create calm in the storm, doing focused intake, goal-based sessions, safety planning, and thoughtful referrals, while documenting care in Jane (our EMR) using simple, supportive templates. You bring your heart, ethics, and steady presence; we provide a welcoming place to practice and a community that’s grateful you’re here.

Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) — Master’s degree; CCPA registration; liability insurance.

Master’s-level “mental health counsellor” between practicum completion and provisional registration — case-by-case with proof of practicum completion, a program letter permitting unsupervised client work off-site, and liability insurance.

Resume-ready outcomes: We’ll confirm verified hours and provide a reference letter upon successful term completion.

Workflows that support you: Trauma-aware scheduling, documentation timelines that protect wellbeing, and a team that values boundaries and self-care.

Community & connection: Join a small, compassionate team where your voice matters and your effort is seen.

Equity in action: Contribute to free services that remove financial barriers for clients.
