- Recreational opportunities, including yoga, soccer, hockey, basketball and baseball
- Connections to youth workers and a peer support worker for support, counselling, and personal planning
- Access to an in-house substance use counsellor and programs focused on support and recovery
- Appointments with mental health clinicians and psychiatrists
- Help from a housing support worker and independent living start-up kits
