PAA's DRN has been opened to provide free support to those impacted by the events in Tumbler Ridge BC
Our thoughts and hearts are with the community of Tumbler Ridge and those impacted by the tragic events of February 10.
“We are heartbroken by the tragic violence that has shaken our neighbors in northern BC. When something like this happens, it affects all aspects of our being, our humanity. When that sense of safety is shattered, the effects are not only physical, but deeply psychological. Grief, shock, anger, and fear move through classrooms, homes, and communities. In the face of this profound loss and grief, we're with you and standing by.”
—PAA CEO, William E. Hanson, PhD, RPsych
