This initiative by the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) marked the start of their month-long outdoor campaign to promote mental health awareness across BC.
This year, the association's campaign, which is currently live in select transit shelters in Victoria and Prince George, SkyTrain stations in Vancouver, and at the Kelowna Airport, is aimed at increasing awareness of the importance of mental health, reducing stigmas around access, and encouraging the public to find the right counsellor to support them. The posters at each of these locations have unique QR codes that will take them to the Find a Counsellor (FAC) tool, a public resource developed by the BCACC to help individuals find the counsellor aligned to their unique needs.
