BCSS - Kelowna - Strengthening Families Together - First Nations

The family can play a significant role in promoting the recovery of their family member. But, in order to do so, the family too requires education, support, and inclusion in the therapeutic process.

This program is an education and advocacy program, one that helps family and/or friends become a personal advocate for their loved one. Learning to be a strategic personal advocate is key to navigating the mental health system, ensuring access to programs, services and supports.

This program was revised by the BC Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) and is offered to First Nations and aboriginal people across the province. The course is offered at no cost to facilitators or participants. All BCSS programs are supported by individual donations; corporate, foundation or government grants; and sponsorships. Under no circumstances will participants pay for this course. BCSS does allow for participants to make a donation to the Foundation.
