Timmins Youth Wellness Hub
NOT 2SLGBTQ SPECIFIC
The Timmins Youth Wellness Hub (TYWH) is a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for all youth aged 12-25 to access mental health, addictions and wellbeing services, resources and support. The TYWH is part of a network of Hubs, called Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO). YWHO is an initiative that aims to bring the right services to youth and their families, at the right time and in the right place.
In September 2018, the Timmins Youth Wellness Hub was established to provide programs and services (in English and in French) that support the wellbeing of youth aged 12-25 in the community.
The Timmins Youth Wellness Hub hosts a monthly support group for 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Information about this is posted on their social media pages and website.
