Celebrating True Courage
Coast Mental Health’s Courage To Come Back Awards
presented by wheaton precious metals
The Courage To Come Back Awards celebrates Five British Columbians who have overcome illness or adversity and have 'come back to give back' to their communities, and to inspire others to do the same.
Thank you to everyone who attended and donated on the 9th June! Thanks to your incredible support, people living with mental illness will be able to access the supports they need.
In our 25th Anniversary year, Coast Mental Health’s Courage To Come Back Awards was one of the largest award galas of its kind in Western Canada and a great opportunity to celebrate extraordinary stories of triumph against adversity.
We are incredibly grateful to the outstanding leadership of Lorne Segal O.B.C., D.Litt.(Hon.), LLD. (Hon.) and the overwhelming support of donors, partners and sponsors. We look forward to celebrating Coast Mental Health's 26th Courage To Come Back Awards presented by Wheaton Precious Metals in 2024.

“As chair of the Courage To Come Back Awards, reading through the hundreds of nominations we receive every year is a moment I look forward to with great anticipation. All of them are true journeys of bravery, resilience and strength in the face of adversity. I am grateful to those that have the courage to share their stories with us.
Choosing the final Recipients is always a difficult task, but I know that their stories will leave us all inspired and optimistic, in a time where we all need a dose of courage”.
