Our Story

The inception of the Mood Disorders Association of BC stemmed from a deeply personal experience. As a mental health advocate with my own history of battling depression, I found a significant gap in accessible, empathetic resources for individuals struggling with mood disorders. My journey led me to this vibrant city of Vancouver, where the natural beauty is often overshadowed by the mental health challenges faced by many. Each story I’ve encountered has shaped our approach; I wanted to create a space where people can feel seen and heard. It's not just about addressing symptoms; it’s about understanding the person behind those symptoms. Driven by a vision for a more inclusive mental health landscape, this association serves as a beacon for those striving to find their way amid the shadows. The stories of resilience shared within our walls fuel our mission, reminding us daily of the strength found in community. It’s this ethos that drives us to continuously adapt and expand our programs, ensuring our offerings resonate with the real needs of our fellow Vancouverites.
