We’re stronger together

Welcome to the 2023-24 Impact Report of the BC Partners for Mental Health and Substance Use Information.

The BC Partners for Mental Health and Substance Use Information, created in 2003, are a group of seven leading mental health and substance use non-profit organizations. Mental health and substance use issues are complex. By coming together to share knowledge, resources and support, we can better help all British Columbians live healthy, meaningful lives.

Our reach is broad and our impact strong. Together we are helping people across BC make informed decisions and take control of their mental health and substance use.

“Visions is such a helpful resource and I’ve learned so much. The information and data is always sound and hearing people’s personal stories has reduced a lot of shame in my own life. So after I read it, I brought it to work to put in our community room and I have received such positive feedback. Thank you again for this great publication.” – Visions Reader
