A multicultural helpline serving all youth.
Black Youth Helpline serves all youth and specifically responds to the need for a Black youth specific service, positioned and resourced to promote access to professional, culturally appropriate support for youth, families and schools. The objectives are to:
- To help prevent social, emotional and psychological breakdown and ultimately violence and crime in the youth population.
- To ensure access to needed professional assessment, intervention, services and supports for youth and families. BYH focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of problems.
- To help maintain youth in the regular school system or to guide youth in other development education activities.
- To provide a culturally appropriate and relevant nucleus of professional and social support for youth, families and schools.
This helpline also serves as the point of contact for calls to professional services from youth, families, school districts and a variety of youth serving stakeholders. Service in French and other languages available upon request.
