Independent Rights Advice Service (IRAS BC)

Information and rights advice for people detained and receiving involuntary psychiatric treatment under BC Mental Health Act. A Rights Advisor explains legal rights as an involuntary patient and how to act on them, independent of the hospital or treatment team, and keeps the conversation confidential unless the patient agrees otherwise. Ask the treatment team for a Rights Advice meeting, or book one directly through the IRAS BC website. Free. Serves all of BC.
