Featured Resources

The Human Face of Mental Health and Mental Illness in Canada

An older resource (2006) but one that you may not be aware of is the The Human Face of Mental Health and Mental Illness in Canada, produced by the Public Health Agency of Canada. This report has an extensive chapter titled “The Mental Health and Well-Being of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada”. Readers might find some of the discussion covers areas they are already familiar with, but the chapter contains an overview of concepts, and some statistics. The full document is available at this link and the Aboriginal mental health and well being chapter begins on page 178.

Lower Mainland - Aboriginal Resources

The Red Book is a listing of lower mainland resources that has a listing of programs and services for aboriginal persons.

This list is for aboriginal persons who have a relative or loved one with a mental illness to receive updates on services, information or events that might be helpful. It is primarily for services and resources based in BC. Professionals helping aboriginal families caring for a loved one with a mental illness may also find it helpful to receive these updates.

This list is made possible in part by funding from the Reaching Families project, which is funded by BC Partners for Mental Health and Addictions Information.
