Ontario Expanding Walk-In Mental Health and Addictions Services for Youth in Haliburton

Hi everyone,

Ontario is expanding community-based mental health and addictions services for youth and young adults, so hospital emergency departments are not the only option for someone in crisis. 

Haliburton Youth Wellness Hub is the new hub for people between the ages of 12 and 25 to get easy access to walk-in services such as mental health, addictions and crisis support, counselling, primary care and social supports related to employment, income and housing. 

The Haliburton Youth Wellness Hub will provide one-stop-shop support for 750 youth and young adults per year in Haliburton with coordinated mental health, addictions and social services, early identification and prevention, and seamless access to more specialized care and treatment, if needed.

The goal is to build healthier communities and end hallway health care. To find out more please read this news release.
