Lorne Segal is helping raise $22-million for Vancouver’s Coast Mental Health

“I quickly realized that the power of these stories could move anyone to tears,” he said. “I was witnessing the miracles of everyday life and I was moved to tears. And I said, ‘If I feel this way, I know that everyone else would feel this way. We need to hear these stories.’” Since its inception, the Courage to Come Back event has raised $22-million for Coast Mental Health’s community-based services, which include housing assistance, job training and other support programs.
