• Blackbird is Métis owned and all counsellors engage in practice supervision with Karina Crow, a Métis woman who is a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession.

• All practitioners at Blackbird who are registered with FNHA have extensive experience working with Indigenous people and practice from a lens that aligns with anti-oppression and decolonization.

• Blackbird only hires counsellors who demonstrate a high value for approaches that are trauma informed, rooted in harm reduction, and acknowledge the ongoing systemic harms experienced by Indigenous people.

• Have a registered Status number.

• Are a resident of BC as defined by the Medical Service Plan (MSP).

• Be registered for Health Benefits through FNHA here with a Blue Cross Member card
