As a mental health professional, you can make a significant contribution to the Austin community and ACGC’s innovative walk-in counseling service.  This is only service of its kind in the Austin area.  It is not intake, screening or assessment.  We provide an hour of counseling to any child/adolescent and parent/guardian who walks-in.

We are seeking professionals with an interest in volunteering their time and expertise for the families that access this service.  Volunteers have the opportunity to:

• Make a difference in the lives of Austin families
• Hone their professional skills
• Gain experience with a wide range of clientele and presenting concerns
• Have free access to quality in-service education
• Learn how to make maximum use of the therapeutic hour through our “briefest of brief therapy” therapeutic approach
• Work with a team of professionals in a supportive environment

Minimum qualifications to volunteer: A Masters degree in a mental health discipline and is either licensed or in the process of obtaining a license. If you can commit a minimum of two Friday afternoons a month please contact: Dr. Arnie Slive at arnie@slive.ca  or you may call 512-451-2242.
