Youth Employment Services Project

Prior to the pandemic, YES had identified that many youth coming into their centre were experiencing mental health issues because of joblessness. The pandemic exacerbated these feelings. This project provided an opportunity to address specific issues around mental health and self-care, enabling the community to rebound and participate in society, post pandemic. Clients were increasingly reporting barriers related to mental health and as such, YES trained their staff to better navigate these conversations and increase their awareness.
