Research shows that social connections are especially helpful for those with mental health concerns (MHC; e.g., symptoms of depression, anxiety). Very little is known about what it is like to be there — as a friend, family member, neighbour – for someone 50 years or older with MHC, especially in a rural context. This study will examine what it is like to be a part of a support system for these individuals living in rural BC.
