Alex House youth programs in South Surrey and White Rock
We offer a variety of free, confidential programs and support services for youth and families in the South Surrey/White Rock area. By collaborating with youth and their families to assess their unique needs, identify strengths and barriers and provide one-to-one (direct) support for youth, we can help them reach their goals by addressing their challenges.
We offer a youth drop-in space, one-to-one and group support and engage in outreach further connecting youth and families to their local communities. We believe creating a sense of belonging amongst youth and their families fosters healthy and resilient communities.
1-1 Youth Workers
Our experienced youth workers are available to provide 1-1 support, information and resources for youth in the South Surrey and White Rock area.
Youth workers support youth with their unique goals and needs, identify strengths and interests, and help them connect to community resources. Youth can receive support in a number of areas including housing, employment, education, coping and life skills, conflict resolution, mental health and well-being, harm reduction, substance use, and much more.
Youth who are on a youth agreement, in government care, and/or transitioning to adulthood can also be provided with assistance that support their independence, return to school, gain work experience, build their support networks, and connect to community resources and increase life skills.

Outreach workers may provide helpful resources for housing, employment, education and mental health, supplies such as basic necessities, harm reduction and art/school, support with applying for financial assistance, life skills, emotional support and direct connections to additional resources in the community.

Youth Service Navigation
The Youth Services Navigator works with youth ages 13 -29, and their families, to access services and resources to support their mental health and resilience.
The Youth Services Navigator is a practical hands-on role that assists youth and families that are struggling to identify the appropriate services and supports to meet their immediate needs. The goal is to minimize gaps for families seeking services and offer them practical solutions such as brief crisis counselling, peer support groups and alternative resources, and walk alongside them until long-term supports are in place.

Funding for this program is provided by RBC Foundation & Peace Arch Hospital Foundation.
