Jack.org works with youth across Canada to teach mental health fundamentals, reduce stigma, create peer-to-peer connections, and create communities of belonging to help young people own their mental health journeys.
Suicide is still the leading health-related cause of death for youth in Canada. Countless young people live with âthat feelingâ of anxiety, stress, despair, or loneliness. Itâs a crisis thatâs hard to see and harder to live through.
With our help, across classrooms and campuses, in communities across the country, youth are focussing on prevention by taking charge of their mental health, and looking out for their peers. đđđ Au Canada, le suicide demeure la principale cause de dĂ©cĂšs liĂ©e Ă la santĂ© chez les jeunes. Et pourtant, cette crise reste largement invisible. Chaque jour, des milliers de jeunes avancent en silence, porteur.euse.s de ce sentiment diffus mais pesant : lâanxiĂ©tĂ©, le stress, la solitude, ou ce dĂ©sespoir qui nâa pas toujours de nom.
Chez Jack.org, nous croyons que les jeunes ont non seulement le droit, mais aussi le pouvoir de transformer cette rĂ©alitĂ©. Câest pourquoi nous travaillons avec eux.elles et nous leur transmettons les fondements essentiels de la santĂ© mentale, pour briser la stigmatisation, crĂ©er des liens authentiques entre pairs et bĂątir des communautĂ©s dâappartenance oĂč chacun.e peut apprivoiser le chemin vers la santĂ© mentale.
Dans les Ă©coles, sur les campus et au cĆur des communautĂ©s, un mouvement prend forme. Ce sont des jeunes qui sâĂ©lĂšvent pour prĂ©venir plutĂŽt que guĂ©rir, qui prennent leur santĂ© mentale en main et qui tendent la main Ă ceux.celles qui en ont besoin.
