Youth Diversion is most grateful to the @cfkingstonarea for their grant in support of Empowering Young Minds - our weekly drop in for young people. Over the past year, we supported over 60 youth and provided another 230 young people with opportunities to be part of workshops and trainings. When you invest in prevention, good things happen. #prevention #EmpoweringYoungMinds #ygk

Drop in on May 7 2026 and take advantage of this great opportunity to learn about available mental health supports, connect directly with service providers, and build stronger community connections. #mentalhealthmatters #ygk

We continue to encourage children and youth to avoid the use of substances, and then IRRESPONSIBLE IDOTS decide to create even more enticing and harmful ways to both physically and mentally HURT our children. Let's combine gaming and substances use simultaneously because our job isn't hard enough.

We are so thrilled to be part of small milestones in lives of the youth who we come into contact with. Some good news stories coming out of Bancroft thanks to the work that Missy is doing. The bracelets are a coping strategy that one young person is using to overcome challenges. Obtaining your G1 is a huge accomplishment and opens up so many doors. All this is made possible because the HPE community supports the @unitedwayofhastings & Prince Edward annual fundraising campaign. Your hard earn dollars at work!

Thanks to the staff at the Consumption and Treatment Site for providing CPR training to our youth. Just one more thing we'll lose if the CTS ends up closing. #lifesaver #consumptionandtreatment #CPRTraining #ygk
