Navigating COVID-19: Our Top Resources

MEMBERS:  We are communicating with you through email and in the Member Portal. For information and resources related to COVID-19 impacts and considerations for your practice, please read the Breaking News homepage of the Member Portal, which you can log into here.

Take care of yourselves, be safe and be supportive of each other.

We are all navigating a strange and unfamiliar time. Many of BCACC’s counsellors are able to provide remote counselling services and we encourage you to utilize our FIND A COUNSELLOR tool.  You can check the box for Online or Telephone counselling to specifically find their services.

BCACC is supporting our members with resources posted in their member portal and through their email.
