Did you know that as of early 2026, roughly 20% of Canadian Youth experience some form of mental illness?

We are very thankful to have access to a wide variety of resources that we can use to help those who need it, including our own Capital Youth Hub, and other resources such as The Kids Help Phone.

The Kids Help Phone offers 24/7 support to those struggling with Mental Health problems. If you ever feel like you need help and are not sure what to do, call 1-800-668-6868 or Text CONNECT 686868 to be paired with trained professionals who can help.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day.

Awareness is important, but acceptance, understanding, and inclusion matter even more.

At CRMHAA, we see every day how much stronger our community is when people are supported as they are, not asked to fit into a mold that was never built for them.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, understood, and valued.

What's' happening at the Capital Youth Hub in APRIL:


All month is AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH, so it's a great time to learn more about the Autism Spectrum to help accommodate your friends, family, classmates, and coworkers - even if they haven't talked to you much about it.

Like did you know it's more accurate to think of the Autism Spectrum as a kind of "color wheel", rather than the linear "rainbow/electromagnetic" spectrum image? And that each "slice" of that circle represents a different area in which Autistic people can excel or struggle?

It's also SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS and STRESS AWARENESS month. So now is also a good time to learn about how trauma and stress can have long-term effects on our mental health, our employment and housing security - and our children and their mental health.

**Just Us is one of our favorite service providers because of their amazing range of FREE & low-barrier services, such as Individual, Youth, Group, and Family counselling options, including services in English, French, and Arabic! The downside of such a great variety of offerings, however, is that there's a bit of a waitlist to be connected to the best counsellor for you. In the meantime, check out psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/new-brunswick to see the HUNDREDS of in-person and online options available.

Give us a DM, call, or email, and we'll do our best to connect you with the people and resources you need.

Don't give up. You're not alone.
