VAST Healing Community is a prominent brand in Vancouver, BC, offering a range of services to support the mental health of refugees in British Columbia. Founded in 1986 by a group of human rights activists and mental health workers, VAST was established to assist refugees arriving from conflicts in Central America. Over the years, this dedicated team of volunteers has built BC's largest center for refugee mental health.

Today, VAST works with refugees from over 100 countries across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Their comprehensive programs and services, conducted in various languages such as Arabic, Farsi, French, Mandarin, and Spanish, address the psychological trauma experienced by refugees due to torture, political violence, and persecution based on race, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
