What is Foundry Tri-Cities?

Foundry Tri-Cities is a new centre offering free, confidential and low-barrier services for youth 12 to 24 and their families. It provides same-day access to mental-health and substance-use supports in a safe, welcoming environment.

What services are available?

• drop-in counselling and peer support
• physical and sexual health care
• substance-use prevention and treatment
• support with education and employment
• family peer support
• groups and workshops for youth and families
• virtual services through the Foundry B.C. app

Where is it located?

Services are available in person at 400-2755 Lougheed Hwy., Port Coquitlam, and online at https://foundrybc.ca/.

Who operates the centre?

Foundry Tri-Cities is operated by SHARE Family & Community Services Society. Services are delivered in partnership with Fraser Health Authority, ACCESS Youth Outreach Services, NaloxHome Society, School District 43, the Ministry of Child and Family Development, Douglas College, the Fraser Northwest Division of Family Practice, and many other community partners.   

How is it funded?

Foundry Tri-Cities is funded through the Province of B.C., Health Canada and community donors.

How is accessibility improved?

Multilingual staff can assist clients in a culturally informed way, in a range of languages. Partnerships with Indigenous Elders and service providers assists young people in feeling culturally supported and seen. Co-location of different providers limits the need for clients to travel to different locations to access needed supports.

Why is this important?

Youth face barriers when seeking mental-health care. Foundry Tri-Cities removes those barriers by offering integrated services in one convenient location, reducing stigma and improving access to timely support.

How does this fit into B.C.’s plan?

Foundry Tri-Cities is part of a growing network of 20 centres across B.C., with 15 more in development. Expanding youth mental-health services is a key commitment under A Pathway to Hope, B.C.’s roadmap for building a comprehensive mental-health and addictions system.
