Youths can also be connected to primary care, cultural and spiritual support, case management or other community or treatment supports.

The team also offers a life skills group named the Transition group. The Transitions Group gives youth who are transitioning into adulthood the opportunity to learn life skills in a supportive, low-barrier environment along with Vancouver Coastal Health.

Participants are between the ages of 17 and 24 and have had some involvement with MCFD or VACFSS.
