Our Story

Foundry's page is monitored from 8am-4pm Monday - Friday.

Foundry is a support service for young people ages 12-24. We are forging a new, province-wide culture of care through the development of a network of centres and e-health services — co-created with our health and social service partners, young people and families in communities across British Columbia. Foundry brings health and social services together in a single place to make it easier for young people to find the care, connection and support they need. We are committed to changing lives, communities and our systems, because young people are our future. In addition to the Granville Youth Health Centre, we are establishing Foundry centres in Abbotsford, Campbell River, Kelowna, North Shore and Prince George. By uniting mental health and substance use, health and social support services under one roof, we aim to bridge the gaps and make it easier for young people to access the care and connection they need to forge a path to wellness. If you require immediate crisis assistance, please dial 310-6789 (no area code is required) to connect to the B.C. mental health crisis line, which operates 24 hours a day. For medical emergencies call 9-1-1.
