Re: Nov. 30 article, Coping with mental illness
Thank you to The Citizen for addressing the topic of mental health issues. Even in this enlightened day and age it seems mental illness is still too often one of those topics that we are afraid or ashamed to talk about.
While it is wonderful to hear of the good works going on in Victoria, we have - right here in Prince George - our very own branch of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society that offers education and support to not only people diagnosed with any mental illness but their family member as well.
There is also a vibrant drop in activity centre for members.
My hat is off to this dedicated and knowledgeable group of people for their on-going support and caring.
