We believe in connecting youth and families with the resources they need to thrive. Below is a curated list of services and programs designed to assist youth who are facing homelessness, substance use challenges, mental health issues, or other life struggles.  

Whether you’re a parent, social worker, guardian, or youth seeking help, this guide can serve as a starting point to access crucial services in the Fraser Valley and beyond. 

Connecting Youth with the Right Resources
