In communities across BC, Foundry is opening centres where young people and their families can access integrated health services all in one place. These services include mental health, physical and sexual health care, substance use support, youth and family peer support, and social services.

Impact Report
What began as a bold idea – an integrated, youth-centred space for health and wellness – has grown into a province-wide movement that’s reshaping how young people in BC access support. With your help, Foundry has grown into a trusted space for youth and families to turn to – whether in-person or online.
Host a Fundraiser
Foundry is a provincial program of Providence Health Care, with St. Paul’s Foundation serving as the registered charitable partner. When you host an event or donate in support of Foundry BC, your donation will be processed through St. Paul’s Foundation, supporting Foundry’s work across our province.
Case for Support
Our health system and communities urgently need coordinated, accessible, low-barrier services designed with and for youth. For a strong future, we need vibrant and healthy young people living full, productive lives.
Inspiring Stories of Change
"Looking back now, that first step really changed the course of my life."
Two years into college, life took an unexpected turn. The mounting pressures of having to excel academically, juggle a sports career and a part time job, all combined with family challenges, gradually took a toll on Danny’s mental health.
"If my 10-year old self was sitting here right now, I would really just give her a hug and I would tell her that you're gonna be OK."
Amira was just 10 years old when she first began to experience suicidal thoughts, loneliness, and anxiety. Mental health was, and in some ways still is, a taboo topic of conversation in the South-Asian community that Amira’s family belong to.
"I feel so grateful to the people at Foundry because they appreciate me for who I am as a person."
The night before the emergency sirens went off, signaling Russia’s invasion, Victoria was living out her childhood dream in Lviv, Ukraine. It was a time of many firsts – her first Christmas away from home, and her first time exploring her newfound independence as an 18-year-old university student in a brand-new city.
Join Our Provincial Expansion Campaign
As we work towards expanding Foundry’s reach across BC, we aim to raise $25 million by 2027 to support the establishment of 35 centres. Every contribution counts and brings us closer to ensuring that all young people in BC have access to the support they need.
Together, we can empower BC’s youth to thrive!
