BC Mental Health and Addiction Services (BCMHAS), provides a diverse range of specialized, “one-of-a kind” mental health and addiction services for children, adolescents and adults across the province. These include Adult and Geriatric Services located at Riverview Hospital, Adult Forensic Psychiatric Services located at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital plus six regional clinics, and Child and Youth Mental Health and Addiction Services located at BC Children’s Hospital. Recognizing that people with mental health challenges may also have co-occurring issues with substance misuse, the assessment and treatment of addictions is an integral part of a number of these programs.
In addition to providing specialized mental health and addition services, BCMHAS also provides provincial leadership in mental health and addiction research, education and knowledge exchange, and health promotion and illness prevention in support of system-wide improvements.
The BCMHAS is an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), which plans, manages and evaluates selected specialty and province-wide health care services across BC. PHSA embodies values that reflect a commitment to excellence. These include: Patients first • Best value • Results matter • Improvements through knowledge • Open to possibilities.
