SURGE IN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, AND GLOBALLY
Isolation, unemployment, and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 crisis has led to an increase in domestic violence and sexual abuse in British Columbia and around the world.
Notably in China and the United States, domestic and sexual violence, anxiety and the demand for therapy have demonstrably increased dramatically post-COVID-19 as a result of the psychologically unhealthy conditions associated with lockdowns and social isolation.

In the face of the worldwide pandemic and its ensuing economic pressures, individuals and families are increasingly stressed both at home and at work, resulting in a greater need in the community for clinical counselling.
BRITISH COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT PROACTIVE IN ADDRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH PANDEMIC
I expect the COVID-19 crisis to have both immediate and, potentially, lasting psychological effects on individuals, couples, families, and the entire society.
Michael Dadson, Ph.D. Counselling Psychology
In the wake of pandemic-related restrictions, the provincial government has already anticipated increased demand for counselling, programs and support services for all British Columbians and, in particular, for victims of sexual violence.
Dr. Dadson concurs that a tidal wave of anxiety, depression, and trauma can be expected in communities across British Columbia and provides a range of modalities in treating patients with exactly those issues at his counselling clinic in Langley.
According to Dr. Dadson: “I am grateful for the opportunities that I have to serve and care for hurting and work hard to make counselling services comfortable because taking that first step to seek help can sometimes be the hardest.”
