In 2019 our founder, Tia Bell, took a leap of curiosity and stepped away from the charity model of social services. She found that although we have services that support equity-deserving groups, they still create unhealthy stigmatization around mental health and perpetuate cycles of shame.
Now she does things a bit… unscripted.
THE DREAM
What if we intervened early? Noticed the ripples before the storms came? What if EVERY person had someone to talk to regularly , to help notice their strengths and work through life's challenges? Similar to going to your family doctor or annual dental check-up.
The Unscripted DREAM is that mental health is treated the same as physical health and talking to someone is normalized. No more waiting until you feel your absolute worst before getting help. Support starts today and continues throughout your journey.
WHAT WE OFFER
Unscripted Co. is a human-centred mental wellness organization serving everyday Albertans and Saskatchewan residents. Our approach is gender-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and rooted in decolonizing therapy practices.
Supportive Counselling — Accessible, affordable mental health support that meets you where you are, without waitlists or stigma. We honour diverse identities, neurotypes, and lived experiences.
Branching Out Program — A comprehensive private practice guide for Alberta social workers ready to start or grow their independent practices. We help RSWs navigate the business side of going solo so they can focus on what they do best.
Workplace & Community Programs — Psychoeducational workshops and training that enhance mental well-being in organizations and communities.
YOU MATTER and you deserve to choose who you share your most vulnerable thoughts with at a cost that suits your budget. Although that society doesn't exist yet... we're building it one conversation at a time.
Making mental health approachable, affordable, and accessible — for everyone.
