Sometimes life can be tough for our children and youth. They may just need someone to talk to—someone who listens without judgment and helps them navigate their feelings.

That’s why Front Door to Child & Youth Mental Health is your starting point for mental health support in the Waterloo Region.

💛Help us spread the work to let others know that support is available and it's okay to ask for help.
