Youth Clinics

We are committed to providing culturally safe, gender-affirming and inclusive care within a sex-positive environment that is welcoming to all individuals who access our services. 

At youth clinics, you can talk with a nurse about your health questions, and some sites may have access to other health care practitioners such as physicians, nurse practitioners and counsellors. 

Services available at a Youth Clinic: 

• free birth control and referrals as needed
• free emergency contraception (ECP)
• sexually transmitted infection (STI) information, testing and treatment
• questions about sexual health and relationships
• HIV education and testing
• pregnancy testing and options counselling
• immunizations
• free condoms and lubricant
• mental health and wellness support and referrals
• harm reduction information and resources
• naloxone kit information
• vaping and smoking cessation
