iSucceed

Youth who walk through our doors have made the first step to changing their lives.

 

PROVIDING A NETWORK OF TRUST AND SUPPORT

 

 

iSucceed is designed to address the immediate needs of youth navigating complex social and economic challenges. Through low-barrier access to essential supports and resources, iSucceed helps Edmonton’s youth reduce immediate risk factors while building pathways toward stability and well-being.

  

Continuum of Care

iSucceed provides integrated support that responds to the diverse, immediate, and evolving needs of youth. Services include connections to mental health supports, housing referrals, system navigation, and access to basic needs.

Youth can also access essential, low-barrier supports such as meals, showers, laundry facilities, hygiene products, and clothing through the donation closet. These services help reduce immediate barriers, support dignity, and create consistent points of engagement.

Through a longstanding partnership with Radius Community Health and Healing, youth are also able to access on-site healthcare services five days a week. This integrated approach supports timely access to care and strengthens continuity across services.

This coordinated approach improves access to care, strengthens protective factors such as connection and stability, and supports early intervention and prevention by connecting youth to appropriate services before challenges escalate.

Guiding futures

Supporting Youth in Edmonton

Through a coordinated approach that includes mental health supports, life skills development, and arts-based programming, iHuman supports youth in building capacity, strengthening well-being, and navigating complex systems.

Arts-based programming provides a voluntary and accessible entry point for youth who may have limited trust in systems, services, or authority. This supports engagement, builds relationships, and creates pathways to additional support.

By combining integrated services with consistent, relationship-based care, iHuman supports youth in building skills, increasing stability, and working toward positive, long-term outcomes.

Empowering Edmonton’s Youth 

Through a dynamic blend of  mental health supports, essential life skills training , and creative expression, iHuman’s approach empowers at-risk youth not just to navigate their challenges, but to rise above them and thrive.

By fostering a supportive community and providing comprehensive care, we help turn vulnerability into strength, ensuring their young voices are heard and celebrated. 

Outreach Services

Through Trauma Informed approaches our Registered Social Workers collaborate with the entire iHuman team to provide wrap around services that meet the immediate needs of at-risk youth. Youth are connected to and engaged in supports that help identify and develop sustainable resources and tools to empower personal growth and development. Our Registered Social Workers work to provide teachings that support youth in finding identity, self-worth, purpose and belonging through self-identified gaps and goals.

LiNKS

Integrated with nurse practitioner-led primary health care services, LiNKS offers a safe, creative space where youth can express themselves while receiving mental health support and access to essential health and dental care, helping them on their journey toward mental wellness and holistic well-being.

Soul Kitchen

iHuman's Soul Kitchen ensures that every youth who walks through our doors receives a nourishing meal. Prepared daily with care, these meals are not only about feeding the body but also about fostering a sense of community, warmth, and support for at-risk youth, helping them feel safe and cared for as they navigate their personal challenges.

Family Programs

iHuman's Family Program provides vital support by promoting relevant knowledge that helps foster healthy attachments and maintain intact family units. By empowering youth and families with the tools to build confidence and independence, the program also supports their ability to navigate complex social systems. This holistic approach encourages resilience and strengthens the bonds that contribute to long-term family well-being.

IDENTITY

“I came here when I was 18, and I’m 22. I still have 3 years...During that time, I’m going to put in as much time as I can. I want to express where I want to be in the future and hopefully with enough time and effort, it will manifest into who I want to be”
