In addition, the OCD clinic provides education to families, community clinicians, schools and public health agencies, which includes community education events. Furthermore, the OCD Clinic conducted research to increase our understanding of the etiology and needs of youth with OCD and related disorders, along with their families, and to also inform evidence-based practice. Research on the causation, long-term course and treatment of OCD is an integral aspect of the clinic’s activities.

The BC Epilepsy Society is a provincially incorporated non-profit, and federally registered charitable organization dedicated to serving British Columbians living with epilepsy, and their families.

Our Mission

To empower, educate and support British Columbians living with epilepsy and their families, and support research to make their lives easier.

Our History

The BC Epilepsy Society was incorporated as a registered charity on August 17, 1959, under the leadership of pediatric neurologist Dr. Norman Auckland.

Dr. Auckland believed that an increased understanding of epilepsy, among those living with the disorder and their families, could help those living with epilepsy to help themselves.

The Society's programs and services today remain true to Dr. Auckland's original vision of support and education.

Established more than a century ago to fight tuberculosis, the BC Lung Foundation was among the first to address the dangers of smoking, and to make the connection between air pollution and health. Today, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we continue the fight for lung health and air quality.

We help fund vital research to advance 21^st century medicine and other lung health initiatives, support lung patients and their caregivers, and educate British Columbians on how to safeguard their lung health. We also advocate for policies that protect air quality, which affects children and youth, adults and seniors. Together, they comprise the 1 in 5 British Columbians affected by a lung condition – asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer, among other diseases – and always, we offer <em>Hope, Help and a Voice</em>.
