Visions Journal

A Nationally Award-Winning Journal

Published quarterly, Visions is a nationally award-winning journal which provides a forum for the voices of people living with a mental illness or substance use problem, their family and friends, and service providers in BC. Visions is:

  • written by and for mental health consumers (people who have used mental health services) and those with substance use problems, mental health and addictions service providers, family, community members, and mental health and addictions leaders and decision-makers
  • a resource for understanding mental health issues and learning ways to put leading mental health policies and programs into practice
  • creates a place where many perspectives on mental health issues can be heard and therefore values and promotes contributions of all those who touch and are touched by mental health and addictions issues
  • always trying to ask the question, What does it look like in real life? Why should this matter to me? How can I make a difference?

From its inception in 1997 to mid-2003, Visions was a publication produced by CMHA BC Division. Since the fall of 2003, Visions is now a mental health and addictions journal, and is published under the banner of the BC Partners for Mental Health and Addictions Information, a collective of leading, provincial mental health and addictions agencies in BC, of which CMHA BC Division is a member.
