Funds raised by the BC Schizophrenia Society Foundation go towards supporting BC Schizophrenia Society programs and services—helping families get the resources and support they need, when they need it.
British Columbia Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1982 by families and friends of people with schizophrenia. Since then, BCSS has grown into a province-wide organization providing families with support, information, and education. As an organization, BCSS is dedicated to helping families support each other, educating the public, raising funds for research, and advocating for better services for people with schizophrenia and other serious and persistent mental illness.
There are many ways you can make a difference and help provide families with “a reason to hope and the means to cope.”
Catherine briefly talks about how your donation makes a difference in the lives of those living with schizophrenia.
