Youth in Transition and Housing Program:
The Youth Transition and Housing Program provides a variety of support services to youth aged 16-24 who are currently involved with or are transitioning from child welfare. The program has been developed in response to advocacy by young people who have left the care of child welfare and who have faced challenges sourcing services and programs independently. Youth Peer Support Program:
The Youth Peer Support Program aims to provide young people ages 16-24 in the KFL&A Region with free social, emotional, and practical support, through both skills-building workshops and peer support services delivered by other young people in the community. The program matches Youth Peer Support Workers with lived experience of homelessness, substance use/misuse, mental health, and recovery to other youth currently facing these challenges. Youth Peer Support Workers draw from their own lived experience to help other youth take the path toward recovery that is best for them.
