RTR Society is proud to offer free counselling services through graduate-level counselling practicum students completing clinical internships under the supervision of our Executive Director, Dr. Shauna Burns-Thomson, Registered Clinical Counsellor. Practicum students are carefully selected based on their education, relevant experience, and alignment with the trauma-informed and relational values that guide RTR Society’s work.
All practicum students are insured and receive ongoing supervision, weekly consultation, and additional training to ensure ethical, compassionate, and effective care for those we serve.
For individuals seeking counselling directly with a Registered Clinical Counsellor, payment flexibility may be available depending on current program funding. Counselling sessions may also be eligible for coverage through First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) or Veterans Affairs (VA) with prior approval, or may be accessed through private payment if needed.

These workshops provide participants with a supportive space to explore the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that can arise during incarceration and the reintegration process.

Through guided conversation and reflective learning, participants are encouraged to develop greater self-awareness and explore pathways toward meaningful and sustainable reintegration.
