We know that everyone in our community has felt the effects of the COVID-19 crisis. This has been true for our youth as well. Meet Camiel, Nexus Overnight Shelter Supervisor, and discover what our youth have experienced & we can walk beside them at YESS.org/healtogether

Sometimes young people need help to have their voices heard. We offer printable self-advocacy tip sheets to assist them with making phone calls, sending emails, and planning for meetings. Please share with any young people you work with! ocya.alberta.ca/child/self-adv… #ableg #abyouth

Hey YEG - we are experiencing a brutal increase in overdoses. Please take great care of yourself and your friends. Don’t use alone. Go slow. Have someone with naloxone near by. Be aware of your tolerance level - it may be less if your use has stopped for awhile. We love you.

YESS opened its doors in 1981--we've been walking beside youth for almost 40 years! Sometimes we receive messages from former youth who share from their lives since their time at YESS. These messages mean so much & emphasize the importance of providing safe spaces for youth

Every gift of every size is an investment in essential services for youth and the future of our community. Together we can create a community where we can all heal together and thrive together. You can make a positive impact in the lives of youth at YESS.org/donate
