The Canucks for Kids Fund (CFKF) in conjunction with Fraser Health and Provincial Health Services Authority, and BC Children’s Hospital are proud to announce the launch of Mindcheck.ca, a resource website designed for BC youth and young adults, as well as family members and friends, to recognize symptoms and better understand the challenges of mental illness. Vancouver Canuck defenceman Kevin Bieksa lends his voice to the site to share his experiences with a close friend and teammate, Rick Rypien, who suffered from depression.
This is a very resourceful website that can educate you on various issues surrounding mental health and mental illness. Of course, only a medical professional can accurately diagnose a person suffering from mental illness, and only such professionals can offer the appropriate help. If you have questions about yourself, your family member, or your friends, please don't hesitate to seek the help that may be needed.
