Youth and Family Substance Use Counselling

Provided by Matsqui-Abbotsford Impact Society

Provides counselling for Young People (under 25) and their supports.
Provides counselling to young people who use substances. The program is for youth 12-14 years with concerns or questions about their own or someone else’s substance use. Friends, caregivers, and family who are concerned about the substance use of a youth 12-14 years are also eligible.

The program offers:
  • Individual Counselling that may focus on anything associated with substance use, such as difficult feelings, thoughts, experiences, relationships, or other issues.
  • Drop in Groups for digging into concerns, goals and questions in life—looking at how substance use might connect to these (arranged at Foundry, in schools or other community locations on an as-needed basis).
  • Activities, including youth and family community action groups aimed at supporting youth and families to take on problems in the community, improving conditions for all in our community.
  • Referrals to other services in the community or at Foundry.
  • Parent and caregiver peer support and educational groups with individual or group follow-up.
  • Family and couples counselling around substance use related issues that involve a young person under the age of 25.
