Family Place Opens it Doors in November:
Our November calendar includes indoor programming for our Family Place services! Family Place is the hub of many of our programs and services for family with children under age 12. With colder and wetter weather conditions being forecasted, our Family Place staff teams have gone above and beyond, yet again, to provide a safe space for families to find the support they need. COVID-19 Safety protocols are in place and registration is required for the groups. Thought the groups may be smaller, there is plenty of space for family, learning and laughter. To register and find out more information about what to expect, call (604) 856 - 1664 |

Foundry-BC is Expanding to Langley:
On June 15, 2020, the Province of BC announced eight new Foundry centre locations joining the Foundry network, which will significantly improve access to health and wellness resources, services and supports for young people ages 12 to 24 and their families across British Columbia. We are proud to announce that Encompass Support Services was chosen as the lead agency to bring integrated mental health, substance use, primary care, youth and family peer supports, and social services to the communities of Langley.
What is Foundry? Foundry offers health and wellness services, supports and resources for young people ages 12-24 and their families/caregivers through centres in communities across BC, and online through foundrybc.ca. Foundry’s approach is different because all services are under one roof, so it makes it easy to know where to go for support. The services are made to fit the individual needs of young people and their families/caregivers, putting their health and wellness at the heart of our work. Local Foundry centres practice and promote new ways of working with young people and family members/caregivers that make it easier to access the right care at the right time.
Foundry is created with and for young people and their families/caregivers. In order to ensure we meet the needs of youth, we go to the experts – youth and families/caregivers themselves. Through meaningful engagement, youth and family members/caregivers are viewed as partners, which improves services in every way. Since April 2018, the eight Foundry centres have served well over 10,000 young people across BC.
