When it comes to the pandemic our youth have faced a disproportionate amount of strain in terms of challenges on their mental health and wellbeing.
RBC has pledged support for WES for Youth Online, a free online counselling platform for youth ages 13 to 24, to the tune of $100,000 over the next 2 years.
The donation will support technology costs involved with the “Road to Redevelopment” network support program that offers youth social and emotional support with virtual counselling, transition and workforce reintegration programs.
WES for Youth stands for Wellness and Emotional Support for Youth Online.
Last year 832 youth in 169 communities receive 1757 hours of counselling.
