The Kids Come First Health Team has created a super-useful, one-page info sheet to help camps and their counsellors recognize and support children and youth with mental health concerns.
“Supporting Youth Mental Health” provides:
- what to watch for,
- helpful coping strategies,
- ideas about who to turn to for support,
- how to start conversations about mental health and
- ways to connect with care options.
Many camp counsellors are youth, themselves. This handout will provide them a way to support children and youth in their care, as well as their peers.
