Our vision for BC
Every person can access dignified and effective health care that respects their human rights.
Self-determination is recognized as essential on the path to wellness and every person has access to the supports they need to exercise it.
Coercive health care is imposed as a last resort and everyone experiencing it has the services they need to ensure their voice is heard.
