Family Support Program

Family Support Groups

Having a family member or loved one with a mental illness can be stressful and isolating.
Through the Mental Wellness Centre, families and friends can access free support groups that are here to provide comfort and an opportunity to be with others who have first hand experience with mental illness.  

In addition, our support groups can assist with concrete information about managing symptoms, finding help within the community, and discussing the latest treatments. Support groups offer a safe space to share experiences and the opportunity to learn from others.  

We currently offer both in-person and online support groups.
To learn more or to register, call our Family Support Worker at (250) 488-4895 or email familysupport@sosmws.com.
