With great respect and appreciation, the MHRP SI team acknowledges our work takes place on the homelands & territories of the ləkʷəŋən, W̱SÁNEĆ, SC’IȺNEW & T’Sou-ke Nations. Reconciliation is an ongoing journey of learning, trust & relationship-building. 

We commit our hearts, minds, and efforts to this journey.

How We Help

Mental Health Recovery Partners South Island provides programs and services for people with mental illness, with or without substance use, regardless of their diagnosis. We also offer a variety of services for family members and friends supporting their loved ones. We do this by offering a range of options including 1:1 peer support, group support, family counselling, education, advocacy and policy development. Sometimes people do not have a diagnosis but are behaving in a way that leads others to believe that they have a mental illness. We can assist in this situation with support, information, navigation and strategies to connect with resources. We believe in hope and support for all. We are centrally located in Quadra Village and are open Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm.
