The Intake Clerk will help guide the way to the proper services and people to ensure a smooth and low stress experience. The goal is to provide young people and their families with the right services in the right place at the right time. The Windsor-Essex Hub does not have a wait list for services and is drop-in based for ease of use. The team recognizes the need to support transitional-aged youth within the community and has developed programs to support youth as they age out of other services. The team has co-developed programs and groups with youth that cater to the current needs of the community. The “Queer Self-Care Group”, “Self Love Positive Self Love Club”, and “Kick That Habit Club” are just a few examples of how the Hub is supporting the need for more substance use and suicide intervention supports in the community. ![Windsor-Essex Youth Wellness Hub entrance](/sites/default/files/styles/site/public/2024-03/front%20of%20building%20new.jpg?h=8fd49f4e&itok=TEgCzYim) ### Locations 215 Eugenie Ave. West, Unit 106 Windsor ON N8X 2X7 ### Hours Of Operation - Monday – Friday: 12:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. - Saturdays & Sundays: Closed ### Contact Location: 215 Eugenie Ave. West, Unit 106, Windsor, ON Phone: 519-800-8640 Email: info \[at\] youthhubyqg.com (subject: Inquiry%20from%20YWHO%20Website%3A%20Youth%20Wellness%20Hub%20Windsor-Essex) (info\[at\]youthhubyqg\[dot\]com) Website: **Social Media:** Facebook: [@youthhubyqg](http://www.facebook.com/@youthhubyqg) Instagram: [@youthhubyqg](http://www.instagram.com/youthhubyqg) Twitter: [@youthhubyqg](http://www.twitter.com/youthhubyqg) Tik Tok: [@youthhubyqg](http://www.tiktok.com/@youthhubyqg) YouTube: [youthhubyqg](https://www.youtube.com/@youthwellnesshubwindsor-es8839) ### Services The following services are offered at the Windsor-Essex Youth Wellness Hub: - Mental health counselling - Addiction counselling - Peer support - Primary care - Youth outreach - Educational support - Recreational activities ##### Schedule of Activities/Events For a full schedule of events and activities, visit [youthhubyqg.com.](http://www.youthhubyqg.com.) #### Our Local Partners The Windsor-Essex Hub works with the following local partners: - Canadian Mental Health Association Windsor-Essex County Branch - Community Health Centre - Team Health - Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare - Maryvale - New Beginnings - The Bridge Youth Center - United Way - Trans Wellness - Sexual Assault Crisis Center - And many more #### Crisis Lines in Windsor-Essex County: - Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare (24/7): 519-973-4435 - Indigenous Youth (24/7): 1-855-242-3310 - Black Youth Helpline: - 1-416-285-9444 - 1-833-294-8650 - LGBT Youthline: Sunday – Friday: 4:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m., 1-800-266-9688 - Kid's Help Phone (24/7): 1-800-668-6868 - Trans Lifeline: 1-877-330-6366 #### In-Person Crisis Supports: - Windsor Regional Hospital Ouellette Campus Emergency Department (for youth 16+ years of age): 1030 Ouellette Avenue, Windsor, ON - Mental Health and Addiction Urgent Crisis Centre, open 24/7, 1030 Ouellette Ave., 519-257-5111 ext. 72612 - 744 Ouellette Avenue, Windsor, ON N9A 1E1, 519-257-511 ext. 968 - Windsor Regional Hospital Metropolitan Campus, Emergency Department (for youth up to 15 years of age): 1995 Lens Avenue, Windsor, ON - Erie Shores Healthcare (for youth up to 18 years): 194 Talbot Street West, Leamington, Ontario.
