The Family Counselling Program provides short-term counselling for people with a family member with a mental illness. The goal is to assist families to gain the knowledge, skills and resources necessary for successfully managing the multiple and ongoing demands of supporting someone with a mental illness.
Funded by the Vancouver Island Health Authority, there is no charge for this service and people are eligible for up to six sessions. No referral is necessary. To get started, call 236-638-1972 and ask for the Family Counselling Program or e-mail familycounsellor@mhrp.ca. Day and evening appointments are available to suit your schedule.

Hi
I am in need of speaking to someone regarding my daughters mental health issues. I was referred to the program via Charlene Rolston on Saltspring Island.
Thanks

Hello Judy,
We would recommend our family support groups on the second, third and fourth Thursday of the month. It is held over Zoom and you can find the link in our “Events” section of the website.
Take care,
