Community Resources

211 Manitoba is a searchable online database of government, health, and social services that are available across the province. The service helps Manitobans who are looking to find the right community or social resource but don't know where to start. Services are grouped together into categories that include food and clothing, housing and homelessness, health, mental health and addictions, abuse and assault, children and parenting, and employment, as well as legal and financial matters. 211 Manitoba listings can also be searched to find services for youth, older adults, Indigenous people, newcomers, LGBT2SQ+ and , people with disabilities. At this time, 211 Manitoba is available online only.

Voices: Manitoba's Youth in Care Network provides support, encouragement, and advocacy to young people in and from care in Manitoba.
