Due to Covid-19 we are providing limited, essential services at this time. We ask that all visitors call to make an appointment before coming to Youville (204-255-4840) so we can discuss your health issue and how best to navigate your care.
Please always call ahead to confirm before arriving at Youville Centre.
The confidential, judgment-free care you need. The compassion and respect you deserve.
“Thank you, I got my life back!”
A 16 year-old teen came to the clinic to get a birth control prescription because life at home was “horrible” so she’d left home and was now “couch surfing” with friends while trying to go to school. Because she came to Youville Teen Clinic – the nurse helped her to get connected with CFS so she could get housing and food, her birth control and all of her other medications covered and start counselling. She was later able to reconnect with her family and establish a healthier relationship with them.
The purpose of Teen Clinic:
