The Rehabilitation and Recovery Program (R&R) at BCMHSUS provides continued mental health and addiction support to people who have completed treatment at Red Fish Healing Centre or the Heartwood Centre for Women. The program focuses on stabilizing health, strengthening safety and safe coping skills, and preparing patients for the next step in the recovery journey.
The R&R program was developed in 2014 based on best practices, evidence and treatment standards at that time. Since 2014, there have been advances in how treatment programs can best serve clients, and so the program’s Model of Care is now being updated to reflect best practices.
In a confidential three-hour session via Zoom, participants will learn about the R&R program, will be engaged in group discussion, and have the opportunity to provide feedback on the Model of Care. The goal is to ensure the updated Model of Care supports trauma informed, culturally-safe and person-centered care. The session will be facilitated by a neutral facilitator and will include a graphic artist to sketch feedback in real-time.
We hope you will connect and engage with us as we strive to refresh the model of care that serves individuals from across BC the best it can be. We are committed to staying close to those we serve. Please reach out to learn more.
