  • Plexiglass barriers at reception desk and waiting areas seating being spread out to accommodate for physical distancing
  • Staff members practicing physical distancing and being equipped with person protective equipment (PPE) including masks, gloves, etc.
  • Adjusting service hours to decrease number of people in center at once
  • Hand sanitizer or alcohol-based hand rub being available throughout the centre
  • Thorough cleaning of all shared equipment (including Toolbox iPads) after each client and all other areas of centre cleaned multiple times throughout the day

Mental Health & Substance use Services

Our counsellors are available during drop-in hours to assist young people with their concerns. Counselling may lead to a referral for specialized service if the young person feels this would benefit them. These services are available Monday-Friday between 3:00pm-6:00pm.

Primary Care (Physical Health)

Our team of family doctors, nurse practitioners and nurses, specializing in youth health provide service on a drop-in and/or appointment basis.

Intensive Case Management

Our intensive case management team (ICM) accepts referrals for young people requiring more intensive and specialized mental health and substance use support. All young people receiving ICM services are connected with a case manager and psychiatrist specializing in youth/young adult mental health and substance use.

The ICM team members check-in with youth regularly on an out-reach basis to see what is going on in their life, develop care plans, and link them with the centre’s resources and community services to support their treatment and recovery goals.

Peer Support

Peer support workers with lived experience provide young people with help and support. They are available onsite during walk-in hours and can help young people on their path to wellness.

Income Assistance

Our Income Assistance workers are able to help youth with their finances in a multitude of ways. These include supporting them with income assistance, disability applications or by explaining the many other services that young people may qualify for, such as employment training.

Please call ahead to find out when our income assistance worker is available or to book an appointment.

STADD Navigator

Foundry Vancouver Granville is partnered with Services to Adults with Developmental Disabilities (STADD), which provides the services of a STADD Navigator on-site.

The Navigator works with the team at Foundry to support youth who want help in areas such as housing, employment, education, community inclusion, health and wellness, and other goal areas identified by the youth.

The Navigator supports young people in building a personalized care plan that is unique to them, along with co-ordinating a supportive team of government and community service providers to assist them in reaching their goals.

Group Support and Activities

Our team offers a variety of clinical groups, including:

  • Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy
