Minister Judy Darcy addressing the media on June 15, 2020/ Govt. of B.C.
B.C. is funding eight new centres to improve mental health and substance use services for youth.
Three of the centres will be within the Greater Vancouver region, including Squamish, while the others will be in Burns Lake, Williams Lake, Cranbrook, Port Hardy and the Comox Valley.
Foundry centres are designed to offer those aged 12 to 24 a variety of services - from walk-in counselling to mental health, substance use and social services.
Mental Health and Addictions Minister Judy Darcy says with COVID-19 and the opioid crisis continuing across the province, it's more important than ever that young people have quick access to excellent supports.
