COVID-19 Update – Apr 1, 2020
We understand the tremendous impact that COVID-19 is having on the lives of our clients, families and staff; especially those dealing with mental health challenges, children with complex needs and adults with developmental disabilities who require support.
We continue to carefully monitor updates provided by Health Canada, along with those from the federal and provincial governments.
In an effort to help prevent the spread of this virus in our community, we have made the decision to close our offices to the public until further notice.
Office Closures
Our Aurora and Markham offices, as well as, our satellite offices in Durham and Simcoe will be closed to the public until further notice.
Short Term Crisis Beds
Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, YSSN has suspended admissions to the crisis beds until further notice. We do this very reluctantly, in the interest of safety for clients, and the general public, and to ensure the on-going health of our staff.
Continuing to offer you support, virtually
