Celebrating 1 Year at YWHO

Dear YWHO Community Members,  

As we welcome the fall season, I hope you’ve had an opportunity to recharge and are settling into a time of renewed routines and new beginnings. Whether you’re returning to school, supporting youth in our community, or continuing your work across the network, I hope this season brings you fresh energy and opportunity.  

September 15 marks a professional milestone for me as I celebrated my first year as Executive Director of YWHO. Reflecting on the past year, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our youth, the Provincial Office, hub teams, and our community and government partners. Together, we continue to work to strengthen access to integrated youth services, grow meaningful partnerships, advance research and evaluation efforts, and champion our shared vision of ensuring young people can access the support they need, when and where they need it.  

As we look ahead, I am excited about the momentum we are building together and the opportunities to further YWHO’s positive impact. I am also pleased to share the refresh of the YWHO newsletter, which is designed to better connect and inform our growing community. The newsletter will share news from the Provincial Office and across the hubs, data and insights, resources, upcoming opportunities, and more.  

Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to supporting Ontario’s youth. I look forward to sharing more exciting updates in the months ahead.    

Warm regards, 

Carole-Anne Chiasson, Executive Director, YWHO
