British Columbia Schizophrenia Society

This series of audio recordings give basic information on 5 major mental illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety and OCD), in three first nations languages  - Carrier, Tsilhqot’in and Shuswap. They were originally recorded on audio tapes as part of the SMILE project of the BC Schizophrenia Society, William’s Lake Branch and HRSDC. The recording was converted to digital format for distribution here by BCSS as part of the Reaching Families project, in partnership with BC Partners for Mental Health and Addictions Information.
