It’s important to recognize the significance of this day in highlighting conditions like schizophrenia & psychosis. With an estimated 1.8% of people affected by schizophrenia and about 3 in every 100 individuals having an experience with psychosis, raising awareness is crucial 🤝

BC has added 40,000 health workers since 2017, but more are needed - especially in rural, remote and hard to fill positions. Recruitment and retention incentives are one of the many actions we're taking to bring on more health workers so people can get the care they need.
