Drop-in support is open to all youth 12 to 24 years old. No appointment or referral is needed, and support is first come first serve basis.

When: Wednesdays from 2:00-4:30 pm

Drop-in counselling: Talk to a counsellor about life, relationships, mental health, school, your questions about substance use or anything that’s on your mind. A counsellor can help you see your own strengths and figure out your goals, while honouring your values, beliefs and identity.
Walk-in peer support: Casual chats or 1:1 appointments with trained youth peer supporters who “get-it”. They use their lived and living experience to provide support to all youth in the community.
Youth Outreach Workers: Get support with navigating systems and referrals, as well as direct support with social needs such as accessing food, housing support, and more.

Foundry Youth Peer Support Workers are trained team members who use their own lived experience to support other young people – whether it’s related to mental health, identity, school stress, relationships, or just feeling stuck.

They aren’t counsellors or therapist, simply people who’ve ‘been there’ and are here to listen, talk things through, and help you explore what works for you. Peer Support is all about shared understanding, building trust, and knowing you’re not alone.

You can connect with a Peer Support Worker at the Foundry Centre, Youth Hub, through our programs and even at school or in the community. No pressure, no referral needed. Just support from someone who ‘gets it’.

Please note: the last intake for Peer support is at 4pm.

We offer comprehensive primary care services tailored specifically for youth. Whether it’s a one time health concern or ongoing support, you can access care in a safe, confidential and welcoming environment.

Available services include:

Episodic Care: STI testing, sexual health, contraception, and more. No ongoing care required.
Shared Care: Collaborative mental health or substance use care alongside a youth’s existing provider.
Longitudinal Care: Ongoing support for youth without a primary care provider.

Email foundry@sscs.ca or call 604.567.9347 for information on how to access services.

Access to Vancouver Coastal Health Sea to Sky Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Team support is available during drop-in times or by referral. Through these services, youth can connect with the Hospital Liaison, Youth Concurrent Disorder Clinician, Case Coordinator Nurse, or Psychiatry.

If you have questions you can contact our front desk or Dasha Kornienko, VCH Team Lead, Child and Youth: 604-848-9908 Dasha.Kornienko@vch.ca
