Mental Wellness

Many suffer from mental health issues in silence and it is important to look after our mental well-being. During challenging times, it is normal to feel uneasiness and uncertainty about our personal and work lives. In addition, finding a way to unplug from work to avoid burnout in an always connected culture is more difficult than ever. 

To support CPABC members' well-being, CPABC has pulled together some mental well-being resources.

World Mental Health Day: Share Your Story

This year's World Mental Health Day theme was "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change." Sharing our experiences can help reduce stigma and provide practical insights that may help others on their own wellness journey.

Have you experienced a particularly stressful period in your career? What helped you navigate it? Have you experienced burnout or other well-being challenges in recent years? What strategies, resources, support systems, or personal practices helped you move forward?

We invite you to share your wellness journey, coping strategies, successes, or lessons learned. By sharing our challenges and the approaches that helped overcome them, we can help reduce stigma and support one another and remind others they're not alone.

As a thank you for participating, respondents will be entered into a $100 prize draw. Selected submissions may be featured in future CPABC wellness articles, either anonymously or with your name, based on your preference.

All CPABC members have access to free and confidential counselling and wellness resources through the TELUS Health Member Assistance Program (MAP). If you know someone who could benefit from support, please share this resource.

Interested in sharing your mental wellness journey? Submit your story by emailing info@bccpa.ca with a brief summary of your experience. Stories may be published with your permission and can be shared anonymously if preferred.
