New features and benefits offered at HOpe
There are also a number of new offerings available through the HOpe Centre that didn’t exist on the North Shore before now including:
Kelty Patrick Dennehy Resource Centre – this community-oriented focal point will be a location where people can not only get information about mental illness, but also connect with others who are dealing with similar issues.
HOpe Blenz Café – this new coffee shop is proudly owned and operated by the North and West Vancouver Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health and will be providing an inclusive work environment for all people, including people living with a mental health condition, working towards wellness.
