Do you have a friend or family member living with mental illness? – You are not alone

BCSS North Vancouver Island is running virtual Family Support Groups for family members and close friends who are supporting a loved one with a severe and persistent mental illness. It is open to anyone in the North Vancouver Island area. This includes Alert Bay, Campbell River, Comox, Cortes Island, Courtenay, Cumberland, Denman Island, Gold River, Hornby Island, Kyuquot, Port Alice, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Sointula, Tahsis, and surrounding areas.

Family Support Groups offer a safe and supportive environment for family and friends to share, ask questions, and connect with others who are also supporting a loved one with mental illness. Family Support Groups are led by trained facilitators or educators, and they provide support and resources to family members and caregivers of individuals with a severe and persistent mental illness.
