NS Health’s Youth Health Centre

YHCs are designated youth-friendly spaces located in high schools across the province where youth can:

• Feel safe, included, and valued.
• Share, connect and find ways to meaningfully participate in planning and actions to enhance their school and community environments.
• Receive one-on-one support and navigation to a range of health promoting services, programs, and resources.
• Come together with peers and members of the community to connect on common issues and experiences.
• Build trusting, caring relationships with peers and school staff.
• Voice their concerns and perspectives on issues that impact their lives.

The YHCC is part of a multi-disciplinary team of Public Health staff that work at provincial, regional and local levels to advance HPS in Nova Scotia. YHCCs are regulated health care professionals that are uniquely positioned to work with youth and high schools through YHCs located across the province.
