It is not acceptable to interrupt vital, life-saving services to exercise the right to protest, and it’s taking a toll on care providers’ mental health.

We are working hard to build a seamless, integrated system of mental health and substance-use care that can be accessed quickly and close to home.

A new progress report confirms people in B.C. are already getting better access to mental health and substance use services, achieved through government’s 10-year plan, A Pathway to Hope.

Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, has released the following statement for World Suicide Prevention Day, Friday, Sept. 10, 2021:

Faculty and staff at B.C.’s colleges and universities have a new tool to support students facing mental health crises on campus.

As post-secondary students return to campus and as toxic drugs continue circulating in every part of B.C., it is vital that students have the resources they need to make informed decisions and stay safer.

Student and staff mental health is an important focus as a new school year begins next week.

If you’re feeling grief, anxiety or stress around disasters and health emergencies, you’re not alone.
