Our goals

  • Our mission is to improve access to support for young people facing challenges and isolation on Vancouver Island. We know that no single solution fits all, which is why we’re for the diversity of services and communities. Together, we can strengthen our efforts to create safe spaces where young people can learn, grow, and find support. We’re here to offer not just help, but a sense of community as they navigate through difficult times.

  • Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Community is Medicine helps cover the cost of counselling sessions when those services aren’t covered by insurance and young people face barriers to accessing professional support. You can donate to contribute to this fund here

  • Coming soon! Our webinars will bring community members together to learn, share, and grow through discussions on important topics like mental health and addiction.

  • We collaborate with other professionals and organizations to create a stronger, healthier communities. We believe in the power of connection, meaningful conversations, and shared learning. Come join us and be part of something bigger!
