Mental Health
Our team is ready to help you navigate the complicated world of mental health, offering advice and treatment for everything from depression and anxiety through to eating disorders, addiction, trauma management, and more.
Safe Use Practices
Get non-judgemental support to help reduce the risks linked with substance use. Our approach focuses on safety, education, and meeting you where you’re at so you can make informed choices about your well-being.
ID Document Support
Not having ID can make everyday life harder. We help you apply for, replace, or update important documents like ID and health cards, so you can access the services and opportunities you need.
Sexual Health
We provide confidential sexual health care in a space that feels safe and respectful. Testing, treatment, education and support – everything you need to take care of yourself with confidence.
How We Work
Our Youth Health Clinic isn’t like a standard clinic. We give you a comprehensive system of support. That means we work with other teams – both at The Alex and beyond – to get you the exact care you need.
Wraparound care is more than making you better when you’re sick. It's about teaching you how to keep yourself from getting sick again in the future.
A Safe Respectful Place
Talking about personal things can feel vulnerable. When you visit us, our team listens without judgement and treats what you share with respect. We keep conversations private and follow professional guidelines designed to protect your health, safety.
We treat your story with respect and care.
Programs at the Youth Health Clinic
Ongoing programs help you stay healthy. You can learn new things and find your community, too.
