We're here to help

We're here to help you find quality information, learn new skills, and connect with key resources in BC. Explore strategies to help you take care of your mental health and use substances in healthier ways, find the information you need to manage mental health and substance use problems, and learn how you can support a loved one.

Mental health and substance use information you can trust.

Seven agencies came together for this project as the BC Partners, because we recognize that people need to have access to quality information on mental health, mental illness, and substance use problems.

Hidden homeless refers to people living in temporary housing, such as staying with family or friends for short periods of time (also called couch surfing), staying in hotels, living in vehicles, or living in buildings not meant for habitation.
