It is available to Vancouver residents as well as those from out of town. However, we would like to inform you in advance that the range of our organization’s information may not satisfy the residents of other regions, and we are working hard to connect services in solidarity with other regional organizations. (Example: Love Toronto)
‘Love Vancouver’ is thought to be a necessary service in the Vancouver area through the business support of ‘Love Toronto’, which started in 2016. However, due to the nature of the region, we will provide services slightly differently in some sectors.
‘Love Vancouver’ is an organization that serves as a stepping stone to counselling individuals or families of Koreans and minorities in Vancouver by connecting related groups to help in problem-solving.
We mainly want to consult and help through 4 sectors:
1) General mental health counselling ministry
2) Legal counselling ministry
3) Medication consultation sector: We inform you that we cannot offer medical consultation services due to local equity.
4) Non-profit organization support sector
Each sector has a cooperative counselor.
In principle, services are provided during the daytime (9 – 5), but there may be restrictions on counselling hours for each sector (evening hours or weekend hours) as there are many people currently working.
For legal and medical consultations, we inform you that, except for urgent cases, you must send us your questions by e-mail (info@lovevan.org) in advance so that we many consult with and answer them.
We have set up a counselling center in the Surrey area for general personal counselling.
It is true that our services are provided free of change, but since there are financial limitations, some of the services in need will be supported under the decision of the operating directors.
Vancouver began with financial support from the WJD Foundation (DBA Love Vancouver), and for long-term ministry, we are recruiting a sponsoring director with an annual membership fee of $500. We believe that this organization can be maintained with small financial donations of those who share the same vision and the donation of skills and talents through volunteer work. (See Sponsorship)
“We are in the process of applying for a CRA charity No. You are welcome to begin donations after its approval.”
