It was identified that many family and youth experiencing mental health and/or substance use issues, had difficulty navigating the system of re which is often fragmented, confusing, and uncoordinated.

The Collaborative was formed to address these issues and receives funding from the Shared re Committee, a partnership of Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health. Three ministries including the Ministry of Edution, Health, and Children and Family Development have signed a tripartite agreement supporting the work of this initiative.
