Free Dental Services at the Langley Youth Hub:
We have an exciting opportunity joining us at Hub! Fraser Health will be partnering with the Langley Youth Hub to offer youth of our community FREE dental services, through their Mobile Dental Health Clinic, including dental examinations, education, fluoride varnish applications, and client navigation for dental care funding opportunities. Fraser Health's current age demographic is youth aged 13-19, but they will still provide screenings, oral health education, and referrals to dental offices that provide subsidized services for those youth aged up to 24. This service will be offered every other Thursday between 1-4:30PM. We will begin taking appointments for Thursday, March 4th, 2021, and appointments will last approximately 20 minutes. To have clients sign up, please have them contact the Hub at 604-546-1130. |

Encompass Support Services Society has moved:
Our new offices at 20230 64th Avenue will house our administrative team and our Best Babies, Pregnant and Parenting Youth, Integrated Youth Services and Clinical Counselling programs. Our 20618 Eastleigh Crescent location will be developed into the Foundry Langley site, which will improve access to quality care for young people ages 12-24 and their caregivers. By bringing health care, substance use services, primary and sexual health care, youth and family peer supports and social services together under one roof, Foundry Langley will make it easier for young people in our community to find the support they need, when they need it. We appreciate the openness and engagement from the community in this venture. We couldn’t do this without you! For more info email support@encompass-supports.com |

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.
