Program Update: Recovery College YVR 

The RC YVR program was launched in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) to offer free courses/social support groups for individuals to explore mental health and/or substance use, create meaningful connections, and feel empowered in their mental health journey. Unfortunately, due to funding constraints we have had to end our partnership with VCH on this project as of March 1, 2025.  

While this news is disappointing, we are very proud of the impactful work of our RC YVR team over the nearly two years that CMHA NWV participated in this program and offer our thanks for their commitment and passion. VCH programs will continue to be offered on the RC YVR website, and we are transitioning two of our popular support groups to the KDMHRC. Please see below for registration details.  

The Community Bipolar Support Group and Farsi Post-Crisis Growth Group will now be offered through KDMHRC starting in March. Unlike our other in-person support groups, this group requires prior registration to attend. This helps us better manage sessions and maintain a safe, supportive environment for all participants.
