Yes, YSB can help. Our Youth Health Clinic offers health care, dental care and addictions counselling. Our nurse practitioner can prescribe some medications without having to refer you somewhere else. And if you are between the ages of 16 and 24, we can also offer you mental health services. The Youth Health Clinic is a safe environment free of judgement. No health card necessary and no appointment necessary — just walk in!

What about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, two-spirit, questioning or queer (GLBTTQ) youth? Does YSB offer services and programs to them?
Of course. YSB’s services are available to all young people who need our help. If you’re interested in our GLBTTQ Drop-in, visit the Downtown Drop-in Centre at 147 Besserer for more information.
If you’re interested in programs by and for GLBTTQ youth, check out the Spectrum LGBTQ Community Youth Group. Through youth-led education sessions, workshops and peer-to-peer outreach, this advisory group keeps GLBTTQ issues in the spotlight, contributing to a community environment of acceptance and inclusion.
