Pamela Liversidge - Changing The Future For Youth At Risk

This is Pamela Liversidge’s presentation at Sam Sullivan's 33rd Public Salon on February 7th, 2019 at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre in Vancouver, BC.

Pam Liversidge is the Executive Director of Foundry – an organization whose mission is to transform access to health and social services for young people in BC. This mission is being realized by working with over 120 partnerships to create a network of “one-stop shops” in seven – soon to be 11 – BC communities, and develop online tools and resources at foundrybc.ca. She believes young people are our greatest asset and, as a systems thinker, she loves to work with diverse stakeholders to address ‘wicked problems’.

Pam brings 18 years of strategic level policy experience within the social sector. Prior to joining the Foundry team, she worked in the provincial government to develop province-wide strategies in Aboriginal housing, child welfare, physician compensation and mental health and substance use. While her career has spanned many different areas, her heart has always been in working with youth. Pam started her career as a youth addictions worker in the community of Surrey.
