AUDIO: Amanda Rae Storteboom talks new Integrated Youth Services site coming to Sydney

A new site to provide “one-stop-shopping” for health and well-being programming and services for young people is coming to Sydney.

Integrated Youth Services (IYS) is a model being used across Canada that creates safe spaces for youth aged 12-25 and their caregivers to access services to address mental health, substance use, and related concerns.

IYS Sydney, funded by the IWK and hosted by New Dawn Enterprises in collaboration with BGC Cape Breton, Undercurrent, and the Cape Breton Youth Project will open at the New Dawn Centre this Spring.

Amanda Rae Storteboom, the project manager for the IYS Sydney site, spoke with CBC Radio’s Information Morning Cape Breton host Steve Sutherland about the IYS model and the need for such a site locally.
