Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Mental Health Services Research
  • Public Health Interventions

Background:

  • Integrated Youth Services (IYS) are crucial for addressing mental health and substance use (MHSU) concerns in young people.
  • Foundry, a British Columbia initiative, expanded its services to include leisure and recreational activities (Wellness Program) for youth aged 12-24.
  • This study examines the implementation and initial impact of the Wellness Program within the Foundry IYS model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation process of the Wellness Program over two years within an Integrated Youth Services (IYS) setting.
  • To provide an overview of the Wellness Program's offerings, participant demographics, and initial evaluation findings.
  • To assess the Wellness Program's role as a potential gateway to broader health services for young individuals.

Main Methods:

  • A developmental evaluation approach was employed for the Foundry initiative.
  • Data collection included quantitative metrics from Foundry's 'Toolbox' platform (activity type, unique users, visits, demographics) and qualitative insights from youth focus groups.
  • The study involved nine Foundry centers and analyzed data from 355 unique youth participants and 9 youth in focus groups.

Main Results:

  • The Wellness Program engaged 355 unique youth with 1319 visits over two years, with 40% using it as their first point of contact with Foundry.
  • A wide range of 384 programs were offered across five wellness domains (physical, mental/emotional, social, spiritual, cognitive/intellectual).
  • Participants were predominantly young women (58.2%) and gender-diverse youth (22.6%), with a mean age of 19, and appreciated the social interaction and peer engagement.

Conclusions:

  • The Wellness Program's implementation within Integrated Youth Services (IYS) offers valuable insights for international initiatives.
  • The program's initial reach and engagement suggest it effectively serves as an accessible entry point for youth seeking health services.
  • Qualitative feedback highlights the importance of social connection, informing future program development and enhancements.
