Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support to young people in English and French.   The challenges facing young people in Canada have grown more complex, and youth need access to the supports that are most relevant to them. To achieve our vision, it’s critical that we meet these challenges — and quickly.   Our History Kids Help Phone has a pioneering history of creating innovative supports for critical issues young people face. We began in 1989 as a unique telephone counselling service, launched to provide free, accessible support to any young person reaching out from coast to coast to coast. Our focus was supporting young people experiencing abuse, but almost immediately, young people let us know they needed more from the service than one focus and one way to reach us. For over 30 years, we’ve evolved our response and offerings. We concentrate on staying relevant to youth, recognizing the complexity of issues they face, and we help to ensure our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders are ready to address young people’s continuum of emotional and mental health needs, from crisis situations to the everyday concerns of growing up.

March of Dimes Canada is a leading national charity committed to championing equity, empowering ability, and creating real change that will help the more than six million people living with disabilities across the country unlock the richness of their lives.

Peacebuilders is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to justice for youth facing barriers and advocating for transformative changes within the justice and education systems. In Canada, traditional punitive approaches in the youth justice system often perpetuate cycles of recidivism, failing to address the underlying causes of youth crime. At Peacebuilders, we champion a restorative approach that fosters social connection, supports youth rehabilitation and invests in building healthier, safer communities. We believe that every young person deserves the chance to be heard, supported and empowered to reach their full potential. Vision A future where youth facing barriers can access justice, reach their full potential and contribute to safer, healthier communities. Mission To enhance the capacity of youth and the systems that support them, increase access to justice for youth facing barriers and utilize restorative practices to foster accountability, healing and growth.
