Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations or advice regarding mental health services in the Vancouver area?
I’m working on getting a handle on the processes here while considering a move to Vancouver with my Canadian partner.
There seems to be at least some coverage for mental health services through the province, but it’s my understanding I’ll benefit most from getting additional/extended health insurance to cover more/longer services.
Do I understand that correctly?
Any direction or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for taking the time.
Services Not Covered by the Medical Services Plan (MSP)
services of counsellors or psychologists;
MSP is the provincial health coverage program. You can check on the website to see what’s covered a Pnd what’s not. We’ve also had luck calling them to talk to someone but be prepared to wait on hold, which may not work for you from out of province.
