Our Approach to Mental Wellness
Mind Space represents a team of dedicated and passionate doctors who provide mental health skills education through the BC public healthcare system using group medical visit fee codes. These groups are offered both virtually and in-person across the province. The unique delivery model allows participants to choose from different groups through a single referral centre. Through our trained physician facilitators and efficient not-for-profit organization, Mind Space delivers a sustainable, high-quality, and accessible service. These programs help reduce the burden on primary care providers, who often have limited resources for patients with mild to moderate mental health concerns.
Our Impact
In the aftermath of the pandemic and within an already stressed healthcare system, our effective groups provide patients with options beyond medication. They help fill critical gaps in mental health care, preventing patient decline and reducing stress on primary care providers. The centralized referral system removes barriers, making group-based approaches possible for patients to access quickly from the comfort of their homes.
Our small non-profit organization is able to deliver a BIG service!
