BC Brain Wellness Program 

January 9th, 2023
Winter Session Registration Now Open

Happy New Year and welcome back to the BCBWP.  Winter session registration is now open. Community is at the heart of living well with a health condition. Being with others who are likeminded nourishes and provides a comforting space to be yourself. When we feel connected and empowered, we live with more wellbeing, more joy, and more hope. Join a class with the BCBWP today and feel the power of connection with those who have a deep understanding and be a part of a network of friends across BC. We need community to live our best so we hope you will continue to be a part of ours.
