Ep17 From Crisis to Prevention: Investing in Youth Mental Health in the Foothills
Welcome back to Hear Me Out With Belinda! In this episode, Belinda sits down with Lorie Anne Schultz from the Foothills Community Coalition to talk about the growing need for an integrated youth services hub in the Foothills region.
Lorie explains what a “one-stop” youth hub could look like for ages 11–24—a safe place where young people can access mental health supports, social services, health care, and employment resources without getting lost in the system. Together, they unpack why youth mental health challenges can look different in small towns (couch surfing, hidden homelessness, long travel to Calgary), and how COVID, social media, and anxiety have amplified the pressure on kids and families.
This conversation is a reminder that prevention matters—and that communities can rally to create safer, more connected support systems for youth.
