Projects

We believe in using community based care to target mental health goals, that is why you can find our volunteers delivering in person programming. We offer a Mental Health Matters program that seeks to address the targets that the Mental Health Commission of Canada has set. Volunteers deliver their lived experiences with mental health in combination with providing information about counselling services and crisis centres in the students immediate area. Companionship + Care seeks to target the isolation and depression that stems from senior living, by using our volunteer network to offer recreational sessions.

Mental Health Matters

To combat the stigma surrounding mental health in British Columbia high schools, we use a team of post secondary students to deliver workshops and presentations at a community level. Post secondary students talk about depression, self harm, body image issues, and the anxiety around leaving high school. Each presentation has a carefully curated toolkit of local resources that students can use, and activities that allow each student to navigate their mental wellbeing.

Mental Health Matters has helped students in the Surrey and Maple Ridge District.

Companionship + Care

Seniors are often left out in health care programming, so we strive to help the isolation and depression that seniors can face.

We pair volunteers with any aging adult that needs help with every day tasks or would just like some companionship.
