In this episode, we speak with Dr. Skye Barbic and Dr. Julia Langton from Foundry, which offers integrated youth services through a province-wide network of health and social services for young people and their families in British Columbia. Skye is an Associate Professor in the University of British Columbia’s Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy and Foundry’s Head Scientist. Julia is the Director of Research, Evaluation and Data at Foundry.

In this episode, you’ll hear about Foundry’s embedded program of research and evaluation and how youth and families are involved in both research and service design; how COVID-19 shaped their work and relationships with communities; and how research supports accountability to young people and communities in BC.
