IAYMH 2022

The Foundry service model is based on best practices and research evidence, along with learnings from Foundry centres already in operation. Foundry is removing barriers and increasing access to quality care by bringing together and intentionally integrating a variety of health and social services through meaningful partnerships in order to connect care pathways, to make services easier to navigate, and to support youth to live a good life.  

A young person may walk into Foundry for a single, discrete counselling session and not come back for months, or they may access various services during an episode of care, needing support throughout a period of greater need. Regardless of the pattern of service access, Foundry aspires to provide care in a holistic and integrated way within our integrated youth services (IYS) model from the moment young people and their families access our services to when they are connected with a service provider best suited to meet their needs at that moment in time. This seamless experience requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to not just co-locate services, but to integrate them with intention.

Foundry is committed to cultural agility, safety and humility in our work. Foundry recognizes the historical and ongoing impact of colonialism and is committed to honouring the teachings and history of Indigenous Peoples and communities, including First Nations, Métis, Inuit and urban Indigenous communities.

Foundry understands that in order to provide effective methods of practice for healing, care and medicine, we must look beyond the narrow and limited scope of colonial constructions and integrate perspectives and approaches that honour the rich history of the wisdom and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples as part of our service model.

This includes Indigenous knowledges of well-being as a balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, with an understanding that holistic wellness must also include the broader social, economic, cultural and environmental determinants of health. 

Foundry is committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion, recognizing the intersecting and complex identities of the youth and families we serve. The Foundry service model recognizes that access to care and services that meet the needs of the diversity of youth requires culturally agile and responsive services and care providers.

Our services are continuously being designed or adapted to meet youth at their unique developmental stage (whether they are transitioning into adolescence or adulthood) and within the context of additional barriers they may experience based on factors such as gender, race, geography, ability, religion, income, substance use and discrimination, among others. Centres are providing services that are agile and reflect youth identities, including group activities that are for specific cultural or language groups or that are led by gender and sexually diverse peers.

At Foundry, we recognize the value and importance of incorporating the lens of lived experience and empowering young people and families in all aspects of our work. Foundry acknowledges youth, family and members of the wider community as local and provincial champions and recognizes that their voices are key to enhancing service experiences of young people and families across the communities we serve.

We strongly believe that meaningful, reciprocal engagement helps inform and enhance experiences across all levels of our organization, including program development, policy and planning, service delivery, clinical education, quality improvement, evaluation and research.  

Foundry strives to help young people connect with resources to help them navigate their way to wellness and well-being. Part of the solution is creating opportunities for social connection, and Foundry’s youth engagement network offers this as a starting point.

Foundry is also committed to supporting families and recognizes the interdependency between young people, families and those who support them in community. Engagement opportunities often occur through advisory committees and includes activities related to giving feedback, adding the voice of lived experience, informing policies and practices and shaping service delivery.

Foundry has a dedicated Research and Innovation team, consisting of researchers, trainees, staff, families and young people who come together to design and conduct research projects that answer questions that are important to their communities; that contribute to the generation of new knowledge (i.e., not reinventing the wheel); and, whose findings have a real impact for our network of centres and for others working in the integrated youth services field.

We seek to align the needs of young people and families, communities, clinicians and the research community in order to close the gap between research and the application of evidence within the context of a network of integrated youth services (both virtual and physical). We want to ensure that lessons learned within the network can be shared quickly and be implemented in meaningful and sustainable ways. 

The Foundry Research and Innovation team is committed to meeting the health and wellness needs of the young people and their families across we serve. Much of what we do requires being curious, innovative and creative in identifying and implementing new solutions that will meet these needs. One of our top priorities is to capture how we are transforming the ways young people access health and social services. Through our research program, we are able to capture, share and implement these innovations and important lessons.

The Foundry model thrives based on the development of intentional partnerships — the relationships built between people and organizations over time. For Foundry, partnerships go beyond sharing meetings, ideas and work; rather, our partnerships involve sharing and integrating organizational resources, as well as a collective responsibility to improve the wellness of young people across the province, nationally and internationally.

At the community level, a broad base of strong partnerships is critical to the success of Foundry centres. Lead Agencies are expected to develop robust and meaningful partnerships with their local government agencies, health authorities, school districts and non-profit agencies. Those partners are expected to integrate, rather than simply co-locate, their services. 

Establishing a Foundry centre is a whole community initiative, grounded in a community’s assets and needs. Community development is a process in which members of a community come together across organizations and spaces to take collective action and create change. Within the Foundry model, community development practices help to weave together the perspectives and contributions of local partners, youth and families to create the cohesion that supports individual centres. Community development is critical, as it often precedes or informs the development of governance structures and because community cohesion has been shown to have a positive impact on the wellness of children and youth who live there.

Virtual services increase the availability, convenience and geographic accessibility of confidential early intervention services for young people and families/caregivers who are unable to access in-person services or prefer virtual services.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Foundry’s virtual services expanded ahead of schedule, both in Foundry centres and through the newly developed provincial virtual service, Foundry Virtual BC. Currently, virtual services within the Foundry network are provided in two ways: (1): Foundry Virtual BC & Foundry BC platform, and (2) virtual services through Foundry centres.  

The Foundry BC platform was co-created with and for youth with extensive support from Foundry centres and enables virtual services (video or telephone) through a web portal, an iOS Apple app and an Android app, and it includes a portal for staff. Services include drop-in and scheduled counselling, peer support, primary care, employment services and groups, as well as tools and resources.

Most Foundry centres offer some of their services virtually, with usage varying across centres. Each centre has their own preferences for virtual services — depending on capacity, staff buy-in, technology infrastructure and their community’s specific needs and choices.
