A new research project is being put together in order to find ways to provide assistance to BC residents that are living with overlapping brain injury, mental-health and substance-use challenges.
The Constable Gerald Breese Centre for Traumatic Losses will be receiving a $345,000 investment from the Province of BC in order for them to continue their research into brain injury, mental health and addictions so they can think of evidence-based solutions and services that can be integrated, easily accessible as well as culturally safe.
Part of the project will also see provincial conferences held and at these conferences, health-care providers, community stakeholders, Indigenous groups and marginalized communities will be able to give their perspectives and ideas revolving around this subject.
This investment is another part of the province’s efforts to support people living with these issues, similar to their creation of complex-care housing.
