App transforms access to services for youth and caregivers
Youth and their caregivers around British Columbia now have faster, easier access to mental health and substance use services and supports through the new Foundry BC app.
Co-created by youth for youth, the Foundry BC app offers young people aged 12 to 24 and their caregivers access to integrated health and wellness services through their mobile device or an online web portal.
Services offered through the app and web portal include drop-in and scheduled counselling, primary care, peer support and group sessions.
“Our young people were dealing with immense pressures even before the pandemic, but COVID-19 has amplified the stress on their mental health, including increasing anxiety, depression and substance use,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “I’m grateful that we are removing more barriers to create faster and easier access to the help youth need.

Accessing mental health services for youth and caregivers in Prince George and across BC has been made easier.
Foundry launched its app where young people between the ages of 12-24 can schedule counseling, primary care, peer support, and group sessions.
Executive Director, Steve Mathias told MyPGNow.com the app has been four years in the making and the need for it grew during the pandemic.
“It’s safe to say that we saw a need to rush this into the final stages of its production whereas before we were really looking at implementing that in our centers.”
