On August 28, Laura Case and members of our Willow Pavilion team will host a townhall meeting — “The Changing Face of VGH: Tertiary Mental Health is Here” — and you’re invited.
“Since opening Willow Pavilion,” says Laura, operations director for Vancouver’s tertiary mental health and addictions programs, “we’ve listened and learned that staff have questions — good questions —about the facility’s population and the changing face of the VGH campus. On August 28, we aim to answer staff questions and conduct an open and frank discussion about mental health, safety and more.”
Special guests will include consumers and family members who will share their first-hand experiences about mental illness and recovery.
