Community
We are fortunate to collaborate with other agencies, businesses, and individuals who share our vision of a community where mental health is prioritized, and quality, mental health care services are available to everyone.
Partners
Melissa Berry Appleton is a Buddhist chaplain, meditation, yoga movement, and trauma-informed mindfulness teacher. She supports the Third Space Charity interns through valuable training in caring for themselves while doing challenging frontline work.
Our partnership with University of British Columbia Okanagan is two-fold. The UBCO Student Union Office generously provides Third Space Charity office space on campus in order that we can provide accessible counselling to its students. We also partner with the UBCO School of Social Work for our Graduate Student Internship Training program, which provides real-world, clinically-supervised experience to the next generation of mental health care professionals.
Switch Research produces a series of science-backed journals and wellness programs to support mental and emotional health. Thanks to the company’s generous donations, we’re able to offer this valuable resource to our staff, student interns and clients free of charge.
Okanagan Lifestyle has aligned with us to support on multiple levels. We learn and grow together through educational activities on topics such as truth and reconciliation and ableism and disability, as well as co-host inclusive group mental health conversations for the community together called OPEN SPACE.
