Research Reports
Vancouver Island Support Services Directory
Based on research findings from our MAiD Cafés, we have co-created the Vancouver Island Support Services Directory. This is a free website designed to help people find local health and social support services, programs, and resources across Vancouver Island. The directory can be browsed by region or service type. If you need to share information using a non-digital format, search results can also be downloaded as a PDF for easy printing and sharing.
As this is the directory’s early launch period, we are continuing to refine and expand its content. We apologize for any errors or omissions you may come across and would greatly appreciate your help in improving the directory. If you know of a service we’ve missed, please use the Suggest a Listing form. If you notice information about a resource that needs updating, select See More on the listing and use the Suggest an Edit option. We also welcome suggestions for additional types of resources that would make the directory even more useful.

Please feel free to share the directory with anyone who may benefit. If you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, we’d be happy to hear from you.
