Family Counselling and Support Services for Guelph-Wellington (FCSS) will open a satellite office in Fergus on Sept. 1.
The office, which officials say will increase the ability of FCSS to serve residents in the Fergus-Elora area, will be located in the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce building at 400 Tower Street.
Day and evening appointments will be available as well as groups and workshops.
Information will be available in August at www.familyserviceguelph.on.ca.
More information will be distributed via local physicians, pharmacists, schools, businesses and more as the Sept. 1 opening approaches.
Officials say FCSS “remains committed to strengthening individual, couple and family life, those dealing with physical, sexual and emotional abuse, trauma, helping people learn money management and strategies, supporting people with developmental challenges and those caring for them, and more.”
