Please join us for the 8th Mental Health Family Conference, WORKING TOGETHER FOR MENTAL HEALTH

The goal of this conference is to promote awareness and understanding of mental illness and addiction and to promote family involvement in the Mental Health and Addiction System. It is sponsored by the Vancouver Family Advisory Committee, Vancouver Coastal Health, BC Schizophrenia Society, and Mood Disorders Association of BC. Everyone is invited to receive hopeful information from service providers, service users and ‘family’ that will help us all to navigate the path of recovery.
