CLINICAL PRACTICE
Recovery from stroke can be a long journey that is filled with many obstacles and challenges. You are not alone in this journey. Every year about 60,000 Canadians are affected by stroke. One key to navigating your recovery is finding the right resources and programs that can help you with the physical and emotional challenges.
Urgent Appointments and Other Options
If you are seeking immediate help, I encourage you to find a counsellor with timely availability. A good place to begin is asking trusted friends, family members or health professionals for their recommendations. Counselling BC offers a comprehensive directory of private counsellors in Vancouver.
For urgent mental health and addiction concerns, Vancouver residents can contact the Access and Assessment Centre (AAC) at Vancouver Hospital, 7:30am-11pm. 1-800-SUICIDE is available to receive calls 24/7 for all residents of BC.
