Y.e.s.s.: Youth Emergency Shelter Society of Edmonton

Based in Edmonton Youth Empowerment & Support Services (YESS) provides 24/7 singe-point-of-access to immediate and low-barrier physical mental cultural and emotional health supports and safe places to stay for youth aged 15-21 who are experiencing crisis. Youth Support Centres also host Monday to Friday Resource and Mental Hubs with physical and mental health clinics and youth-supporting resources to ensure youth 15-24 get the help they need when they need it and where they need it - in their community. In the Spring of 2023 the resource and health services offered at the Armoury Resource Centre (ARC) was consolidated into our Whyte Ave building to be co-located with our 24/7 centre.
