We’re proud to share that Coast Mental Health was featured in the final segment of CTV Vancouver’s four-part series on the toxic drug crisis in British Columbia. The segment includes a powerful interview with our CEO, Keir Macdonald, and Emily Grant, Program Manager at Pacific Coast Apartments.
In conversation with journalist Penny Daflos, Keir emphasized a critical truth:
| “Recovery does not end when you are discharged from a treatment program. That is the most vulnerable time for many people. Housing and wraparound supports are vital steps that can set people on a strong path forward.” |
Emily added her client-facing perspective:
| “We support our tenants with everyday needs and personal goals—from appointment reminders to rejoining the workforce. Having a safe place to call home makes all the difference.” |
This media spotlight reinforces our core belief at Coast Mental Health: recovery is possible when people are provided with a strong foundation of support services, housing, and education.
