Family Stories

Sharing stories helps reduce the stigma of schizophrenia and serious mental illness.

You are not alone.

When you are supporting a loved one with schizophrenia and/or another severe and persistent mental illness, it is easy to feel alone. For this reason, families came together to create BC Schizophrenia Society, to connect with each other, to share information, resources, and strategies, and to feel less alone.

Here are some stories from the families we serve to help provide you with some hope and remind you that you are not alone.

Share your story

BCSS is always looking for individuals who are willing to share their stories. Personal stories and firsthand accounts are powerful ways to advocate for individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. We always appreciate anyone willing to reduce the stigma of serious mental illness by sharing their story.
