A new partnership has been formed to support the long-term future of The Well Youth Hubs, which provide mental health and wellness services for young people in Huron and Perth counties.
The Well Community Collective and the Huron-Perth Children’s Aid Society (HPCAS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. Under the agreement, HPCAS will take on administrative and operational responsibilities for the hubs, helping to strengthen stability and long-term planning.
Officials say the goal is to support the program while keeping its current model in place, including youth involvement, easy access to services, and strong community partnerships.
The Youth Hubs in Exeter, Goderich, and Listowel will continue to operate as they do now, with no changes to services or day-to-day access for youth.
The Well Youth Hubs say the focus will stay on creating safe, welcoming spaces where young people feel supported and heard. Youth engagement will continue to play a central role in how the hubs grow.
The new partnership is also designed to improve coordination across services in the region, support long-term funding and planning, and maintain youth-centred care.
Over the coming months, The Well and HPCAS will work together on a smooth transition. All current services will remain fully operational throughout the process.
