Youth Transition Program
This program is designed to help teenagers and young adults (16-24) transition from youth programs to adult services in mental health and addictions. We guide our clients to the available resources in mental health and addictions at HGH or in the region.
We know the system can be complex, so we provide care coordination to help you navigate the system. Unfortunately, some youth services within our program or provided by other agencies have waitlists. Our Youth Transition Program worker will provide support during the wait period and ensure that you are not left alone during this period.
How to access the Youth Transition Program?
Anyone may ask for help, either for themselves or for someone they care about.
