Mental Health Nursing at PHC

Our Mental Health Program is a global leader in the treatment of complex mental health disorders, and the largest integrated mental health program in British Columbia. Here, you’ll be part of a united, multidisciplinary team driven by one shared belief: people living with mental illness deserve better. Despite extraordinary advances in mental health care, the best available treatments are sometimes not enough—they’re not accessible, personalized, or transformative enough. We come to work every day to change that. By listening closely to our clients and their families, creating and championing innovative care pathways, and advancing clinical research, we’re pushing the boundaries of what mental health care can be.

With a tight-knit and supportive working environment that foster a sense of community amongst practitioners dedicated to patient care, being a mental health nurse at PHC provides incredible opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, mentorship, and professional development.What you will be doing
