Cam's Kids was honoured to be asked to attend the community dinner at the end of the year for
Beyond 3:30, to speak to youth aged 11-14 about Cam's Kids Foundation, anxiety, and mental health. National Coordinator, Vanessa Morgan, educated the students that they have somewhere to turn if they need help. Talking about all of the resources available on
www.camskids.com and the crisis text line with Kids Help Phone, students in the Scarborough community learned that they could access a reliable, free resource to support their mental health if needed.
It was a great opportunity for Cam's Kids to expand their outreach into the Toronto community, and help more youth in need.
