The Ontario government has announced a new Youth Wellness Hub is coming to Port Hope in 2025.
In a press release, the government says the new hub will be located at 15 Cavan Street and will connect youth from ages 12-25 and their families in Northumberland County and Alderville First Nation to free mental health support, substance use services and primary care services.
The new hub is one of 10 being introduced by the government bringing the number of hubs in the network to 32.
“Our government realizes that there are youth across the province who need mental health supports closer to home, so they can continue to thrive in our rural communities,” MPP for Northumberland—Peterborough South, David Piccini, says in the release.
“This new Youth Wellness Hub in Port Hope will serve the youth across Northumberland County and ensure they have sufficient wrap-around supports and receive better quality care when they need it most.”
Other services provided through the hub include family support, education, employment, housing, and access to community programs such as financial assistance for recreational programs and legal support.
