Cook County PHHS is excited to announce that more free youth day passes are available at the YMCA. These passes are available to any Cook County youth under the age of 18 and the accompanying adult for youth ages 10 and under. There is no paperwork to complete, just check in at the front desk. 

This program is paid for through collaboration with the YMCA and the Rural Communities Opioid Recovery Program grant that focuses on primary substance misuse prevention, as well as substance misuse treatment and recovery. Barrier-free access to safe outlets for youth to exercise and be together is an important protective factor in preventing substance misuse. 

Questions regarding PHHS’s work in substance misuse prevention can be directed to Andrea Orest, Public Health Educator, at [email protected].
