Virtual support groups.
Youth Matter Canada’s Community programs create safe, inclusive spaces where youth, parents, families, and educators can come together to connect, learn, and support one another. Through initiatives like Teen Talk Tuesdays and Community Connect, participants gain opportunities to share experiences, explore mental wellness strategies, and build resilience with the guidance of caring professionals. With the support of volunteers and registered counsellors, these virtual gatherings foster meaningful conversations, reduce isolation, and strengthen the collective commitment to youth mental health and wellbeing.
“Community Connect” for parents + families.
Our ‘Community Connect’ virtual program runs throughout the year through virtual workshops and community presentations. Please follow our social media pages on Instagram and Facebook for upcoming events.
It is open to parents, families, educators and community members with the intention of providing a community of connection and conversation.

#teentalktuesday
#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. In 2026-2027 , we will be meeting once every quarter; November 3rd, February 2nd, April 6th and June 2nd! Mark your calendars and join us!

#teentalktuesday will run November 3rd, February 2nd, April 6th and June 2nd this year - and provides an opportunity to connect with and hear from other youth on topics relating to youth; school, family, friends, relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and so much more. It is a safe, and inclusive virtual space where all participants are able to remain anonymous if they wish.
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. We have a registered social worker in attendance each session and any teen in immediate crisis will be referred to a mental health professional for follow-up support.
