Windsor-Essex Youth Wellness Hub

Welcome to the Youth Wellness Hub Windsor-Essex!

The Youth Wellness Hub Windsor-Essex offers free support services to youth ages 12 to 25 and their families without a waitlist or referral. This integrated model of care allows for a multitude of services all under one roof in a youth-friendly space. The Hub is currently located in a temporary site at Maryvale until a permanent site is established.

The team understands the impacts that the pandemic has had on youth. The goal is to fill service gaps in the community to address these relevant challenges.

Windsor-Essex County is recognized as one of the most culturally diverse communities in Canada. The site proudly offers newcomer youth a safe place to meet new friends and engage in an assortment of activities and community supports.

Get to know the Windsor-Essex Hub

When a youth or family member enters the Windsor-Essex Youth Wellness Hub, they are always greeted by a friendly face. The Intake Clerk will help guide the way to the proper services and people to ensure a smooth and low stress experience. The goal is to provide young people and their families with the right services in the right place at the right time.

The Windsor-Essex Hub does not have a wait list for services and is drop-in based for ease of use. The team recognizes the need to support transitional-aged youth within the community and has developed programs to support youth as they age out of other services.

The team has co-developed programs and groups with youth that cater to the current needs of the community. The “Queer Self-Care Group”, “Self Love Positive Self Love Club”, and “Kick That Habit Club” are just a few examples of how the Hub is supporting the need for more substance use and suicide intervention supports in the community.
