Organization Information
Mission Statement
Coast Mental Health supports, advocates for and promotes the recovery of people with mental illness. Our vision is a community that embraces and honours people with mental illness, so they may thrive and contribute.
Description
A Vancouver based non-profit, we know that people living with mental challenges can thrive in our communities if they are given the right resources: housing, support services and employment and education opportunities. Our approach is client-focused and community-based. The people we serve - our clients - take the lead in their recovery, working side-by-side with Coast’s team to set goals and decide which services and programs will best help them meet these goals. They also play a key role in the overall success of the organization, whether as peer support workers, members and volunteers at our Clubhouse or Resource Centre, or part of our governance board or Planning & Partnership committee.
