Vancouver Community Advisory Council

One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that seeing a therapist is a sign of weakness. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Recognizing the need for help and seeking professional therapy is a sign of both strength and your determination to live a productive and meaningful life!

• Tests Indicate a Decline in Workplace Drug Use

  According to a company that provides workplace drug tests nationwide, workplace drug use is on a steady decline. The company said 4.4 percent of the employees they tested last year were positive for drugs, compared with 4.6 percent in 2001 and 13.6 percent in 1988.
