This six-session program provides knowledge, support, and tools for families to cope better with mental illnesses. Through discussion and group exercises, families build supportive connections with others who share similar experiences and learn how to access BCSS Family Support Groups, services, and other resources available across the province.

Families and caregivers learn:

• Reliable information about mental illness, diagnosis, and treatment options
• Effective coping and communication skills
• Tools to help navigate the mental health system, local supports, and resources

This will be every Tuesday for 6 weeks from May 26 – June 30 2026 at 5:00 – 7:30 PM.
