The Courage To Come Back Awards celebrate five British Columbians who have overcome illness or adversity and ‘come back to give back’ to their communities. 

On June 9th, 2023, 1,700 people gathered for the first time since before the pandemic, and raised over $2.7 million for mental health! 

Thank you to everyone who attended and donated on the 9th June! Thanks to your incredible support, people living with mental illness will be able to access the supports they need.

In our 25th Anniversary year, Coast Mental Health’s Courage To Come Back Awards – presented by Wheaton Precious Metals – was one of the largest award galas of its kind in Western Canada and a great opportunity to celebrate extraordinary stories of triumph against adversity.
