About
iHuman never gives up on anyone.
We never turn a youth down.
Strong at the core. Stronger in the community.
The authentic culture at the Society is one of acceptance, openness and a genuine willingness to support youth. The focus is to offer youth opportunities to meet with iHuman professional staff and other social agency personnel as required, to engage in harm reduction activities, and participate in arts-related activities that foster positive self-worth and encourage reintegration into the community.
