Evans said that youth zones were available province-wide to assist the young people on their health journey.

“Youth Zones are available across the province. These welcoming centres are designed around the needs of young people. Friendly teams listen without judgement and offer nutrition guidance, routine health checks, mental wellness support and sexual and reproductive care.”

Evans added that support was also available for those feeling overwhelmed, especially during exam season.

“If exams are causing anxiety, a quiet conversation at a Youth Zone can provide coping tools, study balance tips, and referrals when more help is needed.”
