The Ministry of Health provided Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia with $500,000 to expand virtual mental health services offered through Advica Health. Nurses will have access to a 24 hours a day hotline connected to mental health clinicians who’ll provide crisis-support and next-step options. Other services will include self-guided support options, skill-based exercises and other programs to manage mental health. An additional grant of $275,000 will aim to enhance the capacity to support nurses in the delivery of culturally safe care and formalize long-term Indigenous nursing leadership infrastructure.
