• Accessing Foundry Work & Education is free of charge, along with all other Foundry services 

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when you’re accessing a service for the first time. At Foundry Work & Education, we focus on meeting you where you are at by offering:

• Individualized, person-centred care   
• Compassionate, non-judgmental support   
• New and creative ways to job search or explore educational opportunities
• Support from employment specialists who have knowledge and training in co-existing mental health concerns
• Help from an employment specialist to create an education, volunteer or employment plan based on your interests 

The great thing about Foundry Work & Education is that you can access the program virtually or in-person, depending on your comfort level. If you are located in a community with a Foundry centre, reach out to your local centre and they can support you through virtual or in-person meetings depending on your preferred mode of access.

Or, if you do not have a Foundry centre in your community, Foundry Work & Education has a provincial virtual services team to support you!

Foundry Work & Education can be accessed in-person at a local Foundry centre in your community (click here to see a list of available centres), but it’s not required. If you visit a centre in-person, you still have the option of accessing the program virtually.  

In addition to help with employment and education, you will be able to connect to other Foundry services (peer support, counselling, etc) to ensure you feel supported in all areas of your life.  

You may be able to access money to help cover some of the costs related to your goals. 

In terms of time commitment, you can continue the program for as long or as little as you like, based on your unique needs.
