BLACK YOUTH HELPLINE

Secure education, trusted healthcare and reciprocated respect – these are things that should be made accessible for all the world’s children. However, considering the numerous drawbacks that Black youth may face, these are not always guaranteed. Originating in Manitoba with a team of volunteers, the Black Youth Helpline has been providing culturally relevant assistance and has been fostering a sense of community for Black youth since 2003.
The Black Youth Helpline positions its main focus on assessing the root needs of its youth which allows them to tailor preventative strategies. They show dedication in guiding their kids out of the conflicts they may be facing, and into the arms of loving and healing services that they may not have known were available. With stay in school initiatives, parental guidance and referrals for health services, the Black Youth Helpline engages multiple angles of support.
