About BCSS
Helping Us Help
Volunteers
The British Columbia Schizophrenia Society and the MIND Foundation are volunteer-based organizations dedicated to helping families cope with serious mental illness.
For over 20 years our dedicated volunteers have assisted us in providing support to families, educating communities about mental illness, raising funds to increase awareness and promote research into the causes of schizophrenia, and advocating for improved services for people with mental illness. If you or someoney you know wish to support our work, you can also donate online to BCSS / Mind Foundation here.
