Teen Talk
Teen Talk runs the 2nd Tuesday of every month but takes a break for July & August! We hope you’ll join us!
#teentalktuesday all started during the pandemic in the spring of 2020. The goal was to provide youth an opportunity to connect and support one another during a time in the world where everything felt so disconnected.
We have hosted youth and adult panel guest speakers from all across the province including renowned author, speaker + Mental Health Advocate Allan Kehler, owner of Limitless Gear Clothing + motivational speaker, Cody Demerais, and children’s author + Mental Health Podcaster Todd Renebaum.
#teentalktuesday is a safe, supportive + inclusive virtual space for youth ages 12-18 fostering connection + conversation in the mental wellness space.
REGISTER FOR #TEENTALK!
#teentalktuesday runs the 2nd Tuesday of each month and provides an opportunity to connect with and hear from other youth on topics of school, families, relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and so much more. It is a safe, and inclusive virtual space where all participants are able to remain anonymous if they wish.
Our team includes a Registered Social Worker, a Youth Care Worker, and several other support professionals who are there to assist, support, and direct youth to further support if and when needed.
Each session, Teens are provided with a list of mental health supports and contact numbers should they find themselves in a mental health crisis for themselves or a loved one.
Our volunteer team comes from all walks of life and professions including education, medicine, registered social work, counselling, and youth care work. We are passionate about supporting youth in all ways!
