Program overview
New Program for 2025: BC Children’s Hospital Healthy Minds Program
Approximately 95,000 children and youth in BC experience mental health challenges. This program creates resources to improve family mental health literacy. It also enhances training for more community practitioners, enabling earlier intervention and better understanding, helping ensure children receive timely, accessible care and support within their communities, when they need it most.
PainCare 360 at BC Children’s Hospital
PainCare 360 provides effective care for all aspects of pediatric pain. It shares knowledge on pain care to teams throughout the hospital and care providers across the province, develops educational resources, and launches key programs to develop pediatric pain care that will help foster healthier, happier children, youth, and families.
