T
here is a mental health crisis raging within our community. Young people, especially students, may be familiar with the frustration that accompanies seeking mental health care and the complexities inherent in navigating the system. Many are exhausted with the current system and are left feeling forgotten. On top of the mental health challenges faced by youth and students in our community, we are also struggling to find the support we need. While mental health advocates continue to make this a priority, we need access to help immediately.

The University of Guelph has recognized the barriers we face when accessing proper mental health care, and have partnered with The Grove Youth Wellington Guelph to provide further support to students and local young people. The Grove Youth Wellington Guelph – University of Guelph site is a space where we can feel safe and included. The sites are set up in a way to proactively address mental wellness from an intervention and prevention view. It serves ages from twelve to twenty-six with any wellness issue they may be facing. The University of Guelph
generously partnered with The Grove to offer more services for students and the local community. It is located off 50 College Avenue West, at the corner of Smith Lane. The Grove is open Monday through Friday, and youth can stop in anytime between 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. All youth are welcome to drop-in at any point to grab a coffee, a snack, use our work-spaces or access any one of our services – all free of charge.
