Support group

You are not alone.

We are families of loved ones living with a serious mental illness helping other families with this shared experience in British Columbia.

The serious mental illnesses of our loved ones include anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, concurrent disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia.

How do we help? Through support, education and advocacy, and the sharing of information and resources related to serious mental illness.
