What We Do
BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS) provides specialized treatment, education, health promotion, and more. We are also an academic health sciences organization affiliated with the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.
At BCMHSUS, our specialized, province-wide services fall into three areas:
- Provincial, specialized inpatient and outpatient services for adults with complex mental health and substance use issues
- Forensic psychiatric services for people with mental health and substance use challenges who have been in conflict with the law, or who are facing legal restrictions or community orders
- Health, mental health and substance use services for people who are incarcerated in provincial correctional facilities
We also conduct research, and translate and share knowledge, to transform care.
