Program description

The CONNECTS Program supports youth ages 16 to 24 who are experiencing housing instability along with mental health and substance use challenges. The program provides personalized support focused on each youth’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

 

Support may include service navigation, coordination, housing help, and access to counselling. CONNECTS works closely with community partners, and referrals typically come from shelters and other frontline programs.

 

Services are flexible and tailored to the youth’s goals and needs.

 

This program was previously run by Turning Point Youth Services, which has now integrated with WoodGreen. Click here to learn more.
