About Us
Who We Are
Foundry’s vision is to transform access to services for young people ages 12–24 in BC.
Our mission is to support young people in living a good life.
Foundry offers free and confidential mental health and wellness services for youth ages 12-24 in British Columbia and their families. No referrals are needed.
Foundry is a province-wide network of integrated health and wellness services for young people ages 12–24 and their families. We bring together multiple services together in one place — in person at Foundry centres and virtually through the Foundry BC app — to make it easier for youth to access care, connection and support.
