Nov 15, 2025 | 1:20 PM

SURREY — Young people struggling with mental health challenges may have more resources to lean on with the opening of a new support hub in Surrey this coming week.

On Monday, November 17, the new Foundry Surrey Central will open to provide free, confidential support for youth aged 12 to 24 who are facing mental health and substance use issues.

“Too many young people are experiencing mental health challenges and face barriers when reaching out for support,” said Josie Osborne, minister of health.

“The opening of Foundry Surrey Central changes that by delivering free, same-day access to counselling, peer support and co-ordination of care in one place so youth can receive the timely support they need to build resilience and move forward with confidence and hope.”

The province provided $2.3 million to establish the support hub, along with annual funding toward operations and service delivery.

Services range from drop-in counselling and physical and sexual health care to workshops and support for education and employment.

Dedicated full-time staff from Fraser Health will also be present for early psychosis intervention, developmental abilities and youth concurrent disorders, along with multilingual staff to increase service accessibility.

“This milestone is the result of a five-year journey driven by the unwavering commitment of our partners, youth and family leadership tables,” said Pacific Community Resources Society CEO Steve Atkinson. “The impact on our community will be transformative.”

The Society is set to operate the new Foundry upon opening. Services can be accessed virtually through the Foundry BC app or in person at 10280 City Parkway.
