Lil'wat Health and Healing's Mental Health and Wellness department offers many programs including counselling, addictions supports and youth outreach.

Counselling (individual and group)
Health & Healing’s group counselling programs include Elders Circle, Caring for the Caregiver, Family Circles and Around the Table. We are also proud to offer ceremonial support.

Residential School Support
Health & Healing provides residential school survivors and their families advocacy and resourcing, healing workshops, and support sessions.

Drug And Alcohol Counselling (NNADP)
Health & Healing offers culturally appropriate drug and alcohol counselling to the community through Cedar Circle Counselling Services. To aid in recovery, Cedar Circle helps with:

- Residential treatment applications
- Detox support
- Ceremonial support such as using a sweat lodge, smudging and brushing

We offer an Alcoholics Anonymous program and promote sobriety through our Annual Líl̓wat Addiction Awareness Week programs.

Psychiatric Services and Referrals
Mental health can be effectively treated to improve the lives of those suffering. Vancouver Coastal Health psychiatrist Dr. Layne Harvey is onsite at the Líl̓wat Health & Healing at least once a month. There are other opportunities to meet with Dr. Harvey at the Pemberton and Whistler health centres.

Youth Outreach
Health & Healing supports our youth through:

- Weekly Youth Nights
- Career and personal counselling
- Summer support activities

An Al-Anon program is also available to youth dealing with addiction within their families. We also deliver the Positive Action program and community health education at Xeťólacw Community School.
