Walk in counselling: Foundry has registered clinical counsellors to support youth and families.

If you are interested in seeking support for primary care:

Utilize Foundry’s provincial virtual service
Peer support: Peer support is often a great first step to receiving services. Youth and families can connect with a peer whose lived experiences offer guidance and support. Peer supporters can walk alongside youth or parents and help them navigate through what can be a complex system.
Virtual Support Groups & Socials: Facing big challenges is a part of all our journeys, but mental health is also about being active, being social and learning how to be comfortable with yourself and engage with the environment around you. Join a video chat to play Dungeons and Dragons, watch a movie, discuss books, or chat with other caregivers.
Supplies: Foundry Ridge Meadows works hard to decrease barriers that may be impacting youth, be it food security, personal hygiene , or harm reduction.
