The Cam's Kids Story
Cam Hicks’ Kids Foundation (Cam’s Kids) is focused on supporting young people struggling with anxiety, helping them cope effectively to reach their full potential and realize their dreams.
Cam’s Kids is committed to “Supporting Young People Struggling with Anxiety” by:
Creating awareness of common anxiety symptoms in young people, assisting in early identification.
Providing tools, lifestyle tips and resources, empowering young people to learn how to manage and overcome anxiety, and know where to reach out for help.
Encouraging peer-to-peer support through our Nationwide Ambassador Program by sharing young people's stories, raising awareness of mental health, and creating a judgment-free community.
Cam’s Kids pursues this vision through three primary programs:
Website, Newsletter and Social Media Content
Cam's Kids’ website is the core component of the foundation. Through the website, newsletter and various social media channels, Cam's Kids provides the relevant information required to promote anxiety awareness, provide the tools, and tell the stories which enable us to achieve our mandate.
National Ambassador Program and Corporate Leaders Program
Cam's Kids believes in the transformative and empowering nature of peer and community support. When young people learn about anxiety and hear stories from others, there is often comfort in knowing that others care and may relate to what they are going through.
Our ambassadors are young volunteers and represent Cam's Kids in their respective communities across Canada. They promote awareness in high schools, universities, colleges, and community centres and assist in promoting Cam's Kids through other activities such as poster campaigns and volunteering at fundraising events in support of Cam's Kids.
Fundraising and Events
Cam's Kids supports and participates in fundraising events where proceeds are being raised for the foundation. These events help create awareness and promote community engagement, encouraging healthy discussions about anxiety and highlights the resources that exist on our website.

Two Years Later: After Words
Halloween of 2016 marked the second anniversary of our son Cam's death. That day, I posted this picture of Cam and me on Instagram; we were celebrating his 18th birthday at the cottage and we are sharing a loving hug. The responses to the picture were so kind and so numerous that I could not answer every person, every sweet inquiry, every reminiscence. So this short article is an attempt to do that.
