Formerly the Building Futures Initiative
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).
Our programming is designed to help youth reach their goals and fulfill their highest potential. We work with those currently or formerly involved with the child welfare system, aged 15-29. 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 include (but are not limited to) obtaining ID, 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.
