Teacher looking to continue education

Hello fellow educators,

I am currently working as a high school Resource/Remedial teacher in a remote First Nations community in northern Canada. Much of my job, I'm beginning to realize, is to deal with crises and students' personal issues. Having done this for almost 4 years now, I'm beginning to realize that getting into a counseling psychology program could be a great route for me professionally. As such, I've inquired about such programs with a few Universities in Canada. Unfortunately, none of these universities offer such a program online, thus I would have to move 1500km away from work to the nearest city to study.

I'm curious if anyone of you out there have done this before - enroll into a University program in the middle of a career. What did that look like for you? Was it difficult financially? Did you have to take out loans? Lastly, do anyone of you out there know of a counseling psychology program offered online?!

Thanks for the help! <3
