Who Can Use This Guide?

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health problem, you may not know where to turn for information, help or support. This guide is intended to assist individuals,families, friends or professionals in accessing information on the variety of services and supports that are available in Vancouver and Burnaby. Having access to useful information is a key value of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). We believe people must have accurate information in order to be able to make personal choices about the services they wish to use. While some of the services will no doubt change over time, we hope this guide will assist you in finding the services or supports you need in a timely manner.
