Links to Employment Program

Links to Employment helps job seekers with persistent and multiple barriers reach their goals of obtaining meaningful training, volunteer work, and/or employment. Employment can be central to recovery and growth as work is a structured, purposeful activity that can enhance self-esteem and a sense of well-being within society. Employment and education are also vital to fostering connection, wellness, and resilience for members of a diverse community.

Launched in 2020, the program is a partnership between the Canadian Mental Health Association and the University of BC.
