The Deaf, Hard of Hearing & Deaf-Blind Well-Being Program (WBP) provides mental health services for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf-Blind people throughout British Columbia.
What to expect
The WBP strives to adopt an “evidence-based” approach in our service provisions.
What does that mean? When you come to the WBP for help, during the assessment process, we carefully listen and then figure out the best therapeutic approach shown by research study results to be effective for your needs. For example, research shows that Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an effective intervention for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder.
It is important to understand that the WBP is responsible for ensuring we provide the best possible services for you.
If you are interested in these services, please contact the Burnaby office for an intake appointment. Information will be gathered during the intake appointment. Further explanation about our services will be provided during the intake, and you will be referred to services that best suits your needs.
