You don’t need perfect words to talk to an adult about how you feel. You just need a starting point. Simple, honest sentences can open the door to real support.
If you want to practice how this conversation could go first, One Stop Talk can help. Visit www.onestoptalk.ca or call 1 855 416 8255 (TALK) to connect with a registered therapist TODAY!
⏰Open Saturday 12pm - 4pm.

💟 Pink Shirt Day 💟
Bullying affects mental health, self-esteem, and a young person’s sense of belonging. Today, we stand for kindness, inclusion, and safe spaces where youth feel supported and heard. Kindness protects mental health — let’s choose it every day!

We all hope our kids won’t experience bullying and that they’d tell us if they did. If your gut tells you something may be going on, there are signs to watch for and steps you can take to support your child.
