Peer Support - For Individuals with Mental Illness - Prince George

Provided by Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) - Prince George Branch

Peer support provided by trained volunteers.
Offers support to individuals impacted by mental illness who require help in resolving issues or concerns they may have in dealing with areas of their daily lives such as:
  • Income assistance applications and appeals
  • Government and agency forms and requirements
  • Tenancy issues
  • Making appointments
  • Finding information
  • Financial matters such as bill payments or outstanding debt
  • Connecting to services.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, as volunteers attempt to assist individuals with all their needs as best they can. This is an open referral service, with anyone welcome to make appointments and inquires.

Keeping In Touch: This is a telephone service offered by Peer Workers. The calls are confidential and social calls only, and are made from the CMHA office in a private room. This program is designed for people who tend to isolate themselves, feel stigmatized, feels like no one understands what they are going through and just need someone to talk to who is living with a mental illness and can empathize to what they are going through.

All Peer Support staff/volunteers will have lived experience with Mental Illness & are travelling the path to Mental Wellness. If you wish to volunteer or access services please make inquires to 250-981-0524.
