The Well-Being of Youth Ages 14 to 18
The purpose of this Report Card is to provide access to a wide range of population-level health and well-being indicators that supports understanding of the status of youth health and well-being in our community. The hope is that service providers will use this Report Card to stimulate conversations, answer questions that they may have about youth, and to examine how effective their programs have been in supporting youth and their families in our communities. This will allow us to ensure that the supports, resources, and opportunities necessary for healthy youth development are available.
Using a determinants of health perspective, the Report Card is organized according to the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Youth Charter of Rights. Whenever possible, the local data presented is specific to youth, ages 14 to 18 living in Wellington, Dufferin, and Guelph.
