Youth Wellness Resources

Here are some of the resources available for youth to access in the city of Ottawa! This is by no means an exhaustive list, but hopefully a helpful guide to use and peruse, created by our very own Youth Advocates (a group of high school-age youth).
If you have any suggestions of any resources we should add please email karin@parkdalefoodcentre.org
