Programs and Services Counselling Services (CS) OCS’s Counselling Services are comprised of the following three program areas: 1. Family Counselling (FC) 2. Suicide Prevention, Education and Counselling Program (SPEAC) 3. Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre (SAC) We have a strong and culturally diverse team of men and women with Master’s level training in counselling psychology and art therapy/expressive therapies.
