Demystifying Concurrent Disorders Webinar Series: Demystifying Relapse and Recovery

Recovery from mental health and substance use is an ongoing and non-linear journey. Each person’s path towards recovery looks different and is defined by the person. Join us as we demystify the topic of relapse and recovery with our three subject matter experts coming from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Hosted by Victoria Maxwell (Lived Experience Strategic Advisor and International Keynote Speaker) we will have 3 expert panelists:
• Miranda Barnas (Clinical Nurse Educator, BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services)
• Julian David (Peer Support Worker, BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services)
• Karen Sunner (Lived Experience Partner, BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services)

About the Demystifying Concurrent Disorders Webinar Series: This is a quarterly event designed for patients and families, by patients and families. It is a welcoming space for all patients and families interested in learning about topics related to complex and concurrent mental health and substance use disorders.

About BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services: We provide highly specialized care to people with severe mental health and substance use disorders, people in custody, and people referred by court for mental health assessment or treatment across British Columbia.

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
