Mental health and addiction challenges are affecting a growing number of young people, often leaving families and loved ones feeling overwhelmed by complex situations. In these moments of uncertainty, having access to the right support at the right time can make all the difference.
In an effort to increase accessibility and proximity of services, Portage is proud to collaborate with two dynamic youth centres: Aire Ouverte Kirkland (Quebec) and the Moncton Youth Hub (New Brunswick). These partnerships allow our teams to meet youth and their families directly in their communities.
Our On-Site Services:
- Assessing youth’s needs
- Providing a space for parents to talk and receive support
- Scheduling meetings with youth and their families
- Welcoming walk-ins
- Free and confidential services
