           This website is organised primarily as an internet resource page for people with mental illness in the Nelson BC (Canada) area. Here, you will find information about the Clubhouse, (a drop in center and support group); local contact information to a variety of financial, social, legal and government agents; links to high quality medical information; links to a variety of web sites that were chosen to catch the interest of anyone concerned about mental health issues; and a few other items that have been included just for their own sake.

           Ideally, regular updates to the page would be ongoing; but that is probably hopeful wishing. When more of our members become "internet savvy", there will likely be greater involvement. For now, I will check periodically to verify that all the links are up to date, and make changes to timely information. Mostly, for the time being, everything here should stand on it's own as a good resource for those that find it useful.

           If there are any problems or comments about the site I would be glad to here it. Email:
