Patient, Client & Family Council (PCFC)

Are you passionate about mental health, lived experience, and strengthening patient-centered care?
The Patient, Client & Family Council (PCFC) is seeking volunteer members to join our Board of Directors and help guide our growing non-profit organization.

As a peer-led organization, PCFC ensures the voices of patients, clients, and families are heard across mental health systems — locally, regionally, and provincially. Our work is built on lived experience, collaboration, and compassion, helping to shape programs and policies that reflect real needs and meaningful recovery.

What You’ll Do

As a member of the Board, you will:

• Provide strategic guidance and oversight for PCFC’s mission and priorities
• Support organizational growth, sustainability, and governance practices
• Champion the value of lived experience in all aspects of mental health care
• Participate in quarterly board meetings (in-person or virtual) and occasional committee work
• Act as an ambassador for PCFC in the community

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome individuals who:

• Have lived or supportive experience with mental health or addiction recovery
• Are passionate about advocacy, inclusion, and system change
• Bring experience in one or more of the following areas: non-profit governance, finance, human resources, communications, law, health care, or community engagement
• Are team players who believe in collaborative leadership and diverse perspectives
• Previous board experience is an asset but not required. Training and mentorship will be provided.

Why Join PCFC?

• Be part of a peer-driven movement that influences real change
• Collaborate with community partners, including Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care
• Use your voice to help shape a stronger, more inclusive mental health system
• Build leadership experience and connect with others who share your passion
