Peer Support
The Youth Project provides non-therapeutic support youth who want to talk to someone about their identity. Our support coordinator is available to listen, provide information and help youth get connected to other support networks. We can provide support to families as well. If you want to get some questions answered, are experiencing harassment, are confused about who you are, are coming out, need help, or just want to talk, we are here.
Our support worker can also help you get connected to other safe and supportive resources in your community.
Call and make an appointment to talk to someone. We can come to your school or community and meet with you there if you can’t make it to us. We can also use Zoom to chat for those of you who are far away. All you need to do is contact us by phone or e-mail.
