Pulse is accessible to all youth between 14-29. The non-judgemental doctors and counsellors provide general health, education and support services. They allow you to make informed choices that promote a healthy lifestyle. Pulse is currently having discussions with the Ministry of Health in order to obtain stable funding. Pulse, which opened November 27, 2006, was the first youth health center in the Region of Halton. Transitions for Youth has proven this health care delivery model is extremely effective for youth. Transitions for Youth submitted a proposal for funding as a community health center to the Ministry earlier this year and have yet to receive funding. In just ten months of operation, nearly 1,000 young people aged 14 to 29 visited Pulse for medical and counselling services and for information on a range of topics such as depression, anxiety, nutrition, safe piercing, sexual health and addictions. Many youth initially visited Pulse for a medical issue, and then sought on-going counseling for other issues. if you have any questions feel free to contact me: Stefanie email: [email protected] or Tiffani email: [email protected] NOTE: ONCE YOU SUBMIT YOUR SIGNATURE AND COMMENT YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO DONATE.. *THAT IS NOT FOR PULSE* IT IS FOR THIS WEBSITE. thank you for your support.

The Ministry of Health continues to deliberate on our proposal for stable funding. We remain in communication with those involved to advocate for the essential services provided at Pulse. Thank you for your continued patience and commitment to this cause.

The momentum surrounding Pulse reflects the urgent need for these essential medical and counseling services. It is clear that our community values the care this center provides to local youth.

The government needs to stop playing games with our healthcare. Funding for youth services should be a priority, not an afterthought.

Total joke that they pulled the funding. Pulse was doing more good for this community than anything else around here.

This place helped me through a lot when I felt like I had no one else to talk to. We really need this back in Halton.
