Timmins Youth Wellness Hub

Welcome to the Timmins Youth Wellness Hub!

In September 2018, the Timmins Youth Wellness Hub (TYWH) was established to provide programs and services (in English and in French) that support the wellbeing of youth aged 12 to 25 and their families in the Timmins community.

Co-created by youth, this is a safe, inclusive and welcoming space to support youth who need access to care, including mental health services, substance use support, counselling services, peer support, food, social programs, and other resources and tools. All participation includes access to counsellors and peer mentors at the hub, as well as all programs and meals offered.

The Timmins site has been a pioneer for the rotational hub model, utilizing multiple community partner locations across the city to ensure youth can easily access our services and supports. In addition, a collection of virtual skills and wellbeing resources are hosted on our Instagram page.

Get to know the Timmins hub

Our team is trained to recognize when a youth may be struggling with mental health challenges, respond in a manner that supports that person’s well being, and determine when professional help may be needed and how to connect the person to that help.

With support from our staff and community partners, we are able to offer a wide range of services for youth in our area. We also offer a variety of fun activities that provide an engaging and interactive environment that is welcoming to all youth.
