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

BCSS Interior Region is running a joint virtual Family Support Group for family members and friends within the Okanagan and Thompson-Nicola regions, who are supporting a loved one with a severe and persistent mental illness.

BCSS 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 or substance use disorder. 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.

This meeting will take place over Zoom, please connect with either educator to receive more information and the Zoom link.
