West Toronto Youth Wellness Hub
Welcome to the West Toronto Youth Wellness Hub!
In April 2022, Yorktown’s West Toronto Youth Hub was designated a Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) site. The West Toronto Youth Wellness Hub offers low barrier access to a wide range of high quality, responsive services for youth in West Toronto aged 12 to 25.
We are a safe, welcoming space offering integrated youth services for mental health care, substance use support, and more. These services are free of charge, available on walk-in or appointment, and no health card is required.
