About

Together, we build a stronger foundation for mental wellness
in White Rock and South Surrey by empowering our
community to lead, collaborate, and innovate.

Our Story

We started Together in March 2020 with support from a Peace Arch Hospital Foundation Healthy Community Grant and the City of White Rock. The organization was founded in response to the urgent need for mental wellness support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A small group of local health professionals created a centralized hub for reliable resources, which developed into a website providing information about access to local services and free counselling sessions. As demand grew, Together became a collaborative network, bringing providers and community organizations together with those who use or recommend mental wellness services.

Today, we focus on accessibility, social justice, and innovative solutions to improve mental wellness. By engaging with community partners and individuals, we develop and test innovative mental wellness solutions that resonate with our values. We empower others to co-create solutions, using collaboration as the bedrock for sustainable wellness initiatives.

Together continues to be a catalyst for change, working to expand our reach and create a more inclusive environment for mental wellness support in South Surrey and White Rock.
