HIM aims to strengthen the health and well-being in communities of Gay, Bisexual, Queer men and gender diverse people in BC. We offer a full spectrum of health-based programming and services to meet the sexual, mental, physical and social health needs of communities of self-identified GBQ men and gender diverse people in BC. As the Expand project’s lead partner organization in Vancouver, HIM is promoting smoking cessation services in conjunction with mental health services to queer and trans folks in our communities.

HIM offers a community-based counselling program where individuals can access free one-on-one counselling for support with substances including commercial tobacco use. Participants can receive x8 50-minute weekly sessions. Additional sessions may be available through a counsellor’s private practice though at cost.

Outside of the Lower Mainland HIM also has dedicated websites for BC Interior, BC North and Vancouver Island. Visit these websites to find out more about our programs and services in these regions.

*This organization is a community partner connected to The Expand Project. The Expand Project is starting and expanding conversations and providing support for commercial tobacco use for and with queer and trans young adults ages 18 to 29.
