Island Health and the Umbrella Society for Addictions & Mental Health have come together to create the Indigenous Outreach Team—a dedicated group focused on providing education, peer support, and counseling services to address mental health and substance use in local communities.

What We Offer

  • Mental Health & Substance Use Support

We’re here to provide education, resources, and engagement opportunities in all local communities.

  • Peer Support and Counselling

Our same-day, goal-oriented counselling sessions offer therapeutic support tailored to your needs. We also provide peer support for mental health and substance use challenges.

  • Judgement-Free Zone

Come as you are—no judgment, just support.
