Be Unsinkable! Just Be You
Virtual and In-Person (GTA)
Drop in only - we’ll save you a spot!
Ages 16-26
Tuesdays @ 7:00-8:30 PM ET
Be Unsinkable! Just Be You is an ongoing youth-led and youth-focused drop-in peer group, run virtually and in-person in the GTA - Halton Region. Through this program, youth discover coping skills, build resilience, make connections, in a safe space, without judgement and without stigma.
Launched in 2021, the Peer-to-Peer Community is a moderated online space from Kids Help Phone where young people across Canada can connect with each other. Through the Peer-to-Peer forums, youth can privately share their experiences, offer inspiration, and ask questions to connect, comfort and cheer each other on.
Learn more about the Peer-to-Peer Community in this video!
Please note: The Peer-to-Peer Community is open to youth in Canada. If you’re outside of Canada, you can still view the forums but can only log in while in Canada. For support where you live, visit the Child Helpline International website.
Welcome to the Peer-to-Peer Community!
How to Use the Peer-to-Peer Community

Anyone can browse the Peer-to-Peer Community to see what young people are talking about. The space is organized into four categories: Self, Relationships, Communities, “What Can Help Me & Others”
Each category includes forums with relevant topics. You can explore threads or use the search bar to find discussions that matter to you.

Young people can share their own thoughts by:
Creating an account and clicking “Start a Thread” Note: all posts are reviewed by a moderator before going live!
Posting as a Guest in select forums — no account needed.
🫂Volunteer
Youth interested in getting more involved can take part in Peer Support training and join the Peer Support Squad - a group of trained volunteers who help foster a welcoming and supportive space.

Yes-To-Me Crew
Breaking Free from People-Pleasing
A workshop where youth can come together to explore the importance of prioritizing themselves first and moving away from the need to "people-please". Through conversations on building self-compassion, reflecting on relationships, reshaping old patterns, and discovering ways to confidently claim your own space, youth will grow both individually and together.
Join us online September 18th - December 4th!
👇 Don’t just talk about breaking free, do it! Registration’s open!
Unsinkable Youth groups are facilitated by youth peers, and supervised by an Unsinkable Program Manager with support from Clinical Advisors.
