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

BCSS Vancouver Island region is offering Family Support Groups for family members and close friends who are supporting a loved one with a severe and persistent mental illness.

Our Family Support Groups provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where family members and friends can share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who understand what it’s like to support a loved one living with mental illness. Groups are facilitated by trained BCSS educators and offer guidance, emotional support, and valuable resources to help families navigate their journeys.
