Planet Youth Lanark County and Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth want to see Integrated Youth Wellness Hubs come to the region to assist those from the ages of 12 to 25 that are struggling.
There’s 22 youth wellness hubs funded by the province which provide mental health and substance abuse supports to the younger population.
Planet Youth’s Chair David Somppi says this is an opportunity to help.
County staff will be meeting with both organizations to aid in the proposal process to secure a youth wellness hub.
