Wellness Wednesday Tip

The way you talk to yourself matters.

When negative thoughts show up, try to pause and reframe your self-talk. Instead of being your biggest critic, ask yourself: “What would I say to a friend in this situation?” Then offer that same kindness to yourself.

Small shifts in how you think can make a big difference in how you feel.

Want to help make that support possible?

Foundry Kamloops is seeking Family Physicians to join our new integrated youth service hub opening at 540 Seymour St this summer.

As a Foundry Kamloops physician, you’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team working together to provide low-barrier, free, and confidential care for youth aged 12–24 and their caregivers. From physical and sexual health to mental health, substance use support, and social services—this is care that meets young people where they’re at and supports them to live a good life.

Why join Foundry Kamloops?
• Work alongside an interdisciplinary team: family physician, nurse practitioner, counsellors, peer support workers and staff from many partner organizations.
• Be part of a prevention focused service model that removes barriers and transforms access to youth care.
• Flexible schedule, highly competitive payment range, clinical services contract administered via IHA.
• Opportunities to grow your skills and knowledge in areas such as youth mental health, substance use, and gender-affirming care.

We would welcome enthusiastic physicians to consider joining in any FTE capacity. While the role is posted as 1.0 FTE, we encourage physicians to consider 0.2 - 0.4 FTE. This would be a perfect complement to a 1.0 FTE Nurse Practitioner alongside additional Interior Health supports.

This is a dynamic opportunity to make meaningful impact! Come explore our proactive and collegial environment and make a lasting impact in the lives of young people in our community. For more info visit: https://www.trdfp.ca/work-here/opportunities/

Wellness Wednesday Tip!

Spring is a season of fresh starts and a great reminder that you can start fresh, too.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or low, try something simple: get outside and take in some fresh air. A short walk, a few minutes in the sun, or just stepping outside can help boost your mood, clear your mind, and reset your day.

Small changes can make a big difference.

At Foundry Kamloops, we’re all about creating spaces where youth can feel supported, connected, and inspired to take those next steps. Want to help bring that space to life?

Wellness Wednesday Tip

You don’t have to go through everything alone.

If something’s been weighing on you, try talking it out—with a parent, friend, or another trusted adult. Opening up might feel tough at first, but sharing what you’re going through can help you feel supported, understood, and a little less overwhelmed.

You deserve to be heard.

At Foundry Kamloops, we’re here to be part of that support system—offering safe, welcoming spaces where youth can connect and get the help they need.

Want to help make that possible?
Consider supporting the Foundry Kamloops Capital Campaign. Every donation helps us create a space where young people don’t have to face things alone. Visit interiorcommunityservices.bc.ca/fundraising
