Foundry and the BC Games Society are excited to announce a new partnership that will provide awareness of health and wellness supports available to BC Summer and Winter Games participants. The initiative will kick off at the Prince George 2022 BC Summer Games from July 21-24, 2022, with representatives from Foundry in attendance to provide more information about their programs.
The partnership is designed to drive awareness of the free and confidential services available at Foundry in recognition of the unique challenges and pressures that athletes can face.
Foundry provides BC residents between the ages of 12-24 and their caregivers easy access to integrated health and wellness services, including mental health, substance use, primary care, and social services through Foundry centres or the Foundry BC app.
Established in 1978, the BC Games bring together British Columbia’s best emerging high-performance athletes, coaches, and officials for a four-day celebration of sport and community. To learn more about the BC Games Society, visit their website at bcgames.org.
