How did you hear of 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.

#teentalktuesday runs the 1st Tuesday of each month 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.
