• No appointment needed.  A Mental Health And Substance  Use (MHSU) clinician is here Monday to Friday from 10:00-4:00.
• The first time you meet with a Foundry MHSU Clinician, they will explore what is challenging you, why you came in and what you need in order to get a clear understanding of how best to support you.  Remember that the more honest you are with us about what is happening and what you are thinking, the more we can help!
• Next, we will help you create a plan for your care. We want you to decide on your plan, we are here to simply provide you with options. Your plan may include checking out some great and reliable stuff online, accessing more of our services at Foundry and/or connecting you with some of the other great services available to you in Prince George.

  Our Counselling Model:  
• We believe you already have the skills and ability to create change in your life but you may need help identifying and developing those skills.
• We focus on what works for you and how it can help you in the future instead of examining your past experiences.
• We respond directly to what you want to work on by focusing on what’s important to you, what you want at the end of the session and creating do-able goals with you.
