Two new mental health hubs for youth will be created in Manitoba through a $10-million federal fund.
The money from the Youth Mental Health Fund is “the largest investment of its kind in Canada,” a Thursday news release from United Way Winnipeg said.
The hubs will be run by Huddle, which launched in Manitoba in 2022. It is an initiative of the provincial government, United Way and other philanthropic partners.
One hub will be set up in southern Manitoba, while the other will be in northern Manitoba.
Six youth hubs are already operating in Winnipeg, Selkirk and Brandon.
“The federal funding will also allow Huddle to expand its relationship with school divisions, placing Huddle staff in select schools to build trusting relationships with students and guide them to mental health and wellness supports nearby,” the release said.
