About the Company

Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) is an Integrated Youth Services (IYS) initiative designed to address the service gaps in the youth mental health and substance use sectors in Ontario.
YWHO supports local service providers to work together in a new way, providing young people in Ontario aged 12 to 25 with access to a full range of integrated services that support their individual needs, including mental health and substance use supports, primary care, education, employment, housing and other social services in one youth-friendly space.
Outcomes are rigorously evaluated within and across hubs focusing on positive outcomes in areas of wellness important to youth and their families.
This initiative engages youth, family/caregivers and other partners through a co-creation process, ensuring services are designed and delivered according to their needs.
YWHO's IYS model is designed to improve experiences and outcomes for youth by increasing access to rapid, low-barrier services, reducing transitions by providing care in one location, and providing tailored, high-quality programs co-developed with youth to meet their needs.
YWHO is currently comprised of 32 local hubs (or YWHO Networks) that provide services to youth and families in over 40 communities, as well as a Provincial Office (PO) situated within the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) that provides support to all of these YWHO Networks across key areas: implementation, operations, data and evaluation, youth and family engagement, equity, knowledge mobilization, communications, and more.
Through its core values of Courage, Respect and Excellence, CAMH is implementing its Strategic Plan: Connected CAMH, to transform lives, ignite innovation and discovery, revolutionize education and drive social change.
CAMH is more than a hospital, it is a cause.
CAMH is on a mission to change the way society thinks about and responds to mental illness.
They aim to eliminate prejudice and discrimination and shape a world where mental illness is central to our healthcare system – a world where Mental Health is Health.
