BURNABY MENTAL WEALTH SOCIETY

OUR STRENGTH IS OUR MEMBERS

Our Mission Statement

After medical treatment, many survivors of mental illness live alongside the threat of a return to what they had overcome in the past. The possibility of a disruption in the brain and nervous system resembles a dark storm on the horizon. Persons so threatened need a shelter as a form of protection, a home in which they are joined as equals. Where one of their words and deeds is valued. Where they find new friends and join a family like association that provides good food, good humour, work choices, education, joy, and spiritual opportunities. It is the mission of BMWS to continue making this home a reality.

Our Origin

Instead of letting the stigma of mental illness be an isolating factor in our lives, we formed a non-profit Society and used our talents and abilities to run programs and activities which assist in our journey of recovery from mental illness.

●Respect for members rights to self determination ●For personal and professional growth ●For participation in community ● For engaging in positive relationships ●To expect program accountability ●To have hope for the future.
