A pilot project that helps high-risk inmates transition back into society through housing, health and community supports has shown promise in reducing criminal behaviour among program participants and is being implemented at three B.C. correctional centres.

Health Minister Terry Lake issued the following statement on National Nursing Week, May 12-18, 2014:

Early intervention and support for those in their teens and twenties struggling with mental health issues received an added boost with $1 million funding for programs at Coast Mental Health.

After the dust settles, people with severe addiction and mental illness can find help meeting the challenges of 'day-to-day' living, with two new Assertive Community Treatment teams.

It can be hard to find help when you're on the streets. Youth who are lost, alone and struggling with addictions or mental illness will have more support with the doubling of the Inner City Youth team in Vancouver.

Fire sprinklers are one of many important fire safety measures.

Twenty-six communities throughout the province will receive 2014 Age-friendly BC grants to support a variety of projects designed to help older adults stay mobile, physically active and healthy.
