What is counselling?
Some people get a little weirded out when they hear the word “counselling.” That’s OK. Basically, counselling is about talking to someone who knows a lot about many different issues that young people face. We think of counselling as a conversation with someone whom you can trust, who won’t judge you, and who wants to help.
You can chat with a live counsellor Wednesday - Sunday, 6pm - 2am EST. Find out when Live Chat is open in your province by clicking here
