The Team
CFD is committed to providing coordinated, ongoing child and youth mental health services in Tumbler Ridge and other rural and remote Northern communities.

The team works collaboratively with community partners including Foundry, Northern Health Authority and School District 59 to deliver services that are timely, relationship‑based, and grounded in the needs of the community. Together, we bring positive energy, expertise, and a commitment to working creatively alongside families and community partners to deliver wrap-around support for children, youth, and their families. We provide a welcoming and respectful environment with regular opportunities for supervision, collaboration with other agencies, and clinical discussions, empowering each team member to grow in their practice. Join us in our shared mission to foster healing and wellness in the community through grassroots, collaborative and trauma-informed approaches.
