Mental Health Matters

Our Mental Health Matters initiative highlights the challenges faced by low-income parents and caregivers facing mental health issues, many of whom are survivors of gender-based and family violence, who cannot access expensive market-based counselling support.

Mental Health Matters advocates for the inclusion of counselling as a fully MSP-billable service within BC’s health care system, with a minimum of 24 hours of counselling per year, per person, for low-income individuals and more funding for mental health services for family violence survivors.
