Futures Forward

Futures Forward is a collaborative partnership between Youth Employment Services (YES), Community Financial Counselling Services (CFCS), and the Canadian Mental Health Association, Manitoba and Winnipeg (CMHA).

We work with young people currently or formerly involved with the child welfare system, aged 15-29. Our programming is designed to help youth reach their goals and fulfill their highest potential.

All services offered are FREE!

CMHA’s Role in Futures Forward

Youth Service Navigation – Youth Service Navigators can assist youth in negotiating challenging situations and help youth access needed resources. These resources could include such things as obtaining identification, support with housing, referrals to addictions supports, and navigation within health, mental health, social, and government systems.

Futures Forward Counselling is CMHA’s no-cost counselling to support youth with living, relationship or other issues important to them.
