The ASA provides a province-wide assessment service as well as follow-up counselling if required. Private and confidential individualized reports that include recommendations and referrals based on the assessment are provided. Adults from all stages and walks of life and corporations in periods of transition or development can benefit from using the services offered by ASA.
