Program Overview

Integrated Youth Services (IYS) is an international and pan-Canadian movement that takes an interdisciplinary, community-led, partnership-based approach to support for youth ages 12-25. Anchor Youth Spaces provide timely, coordinated access to a wide range of programs and services. We reduce barriers, promote early intervention, and integrate wraparound supports such as mental health and substance use care, primary health, social services, and peer support for youth.

All services are delivered within a welcoming, youth-friendly environment where relationship building and engagement are foundational. Extending past traditional therapy, clinicians also play an active role in the space through participation in programs, activities, workshops, and informal interactions. This approach supports comfortable, seamless access to clinical services for youth when needed.
