The Legend of Unsinkable: Your Story Unfolding (Self-Paced)
13-week self paced storytelling journey.
Start date: Tuesday, September 15th, 2026
How: Self-paced, new content and prompts every Tuesday
Who: Youth (16-26) and Adults (27-35)
What if you could step into a story and discover that some of it feels a little like your own?
The Legend of Unsinkable is a 13-week storytelling journey inviting you to explore, reflect, and create at your own pace. Each week, a new chapter of the Legend will be there as a companion, with an illustrated workbook, guided videos, reflections, and creative invitations to help you explore wherever you are in your own story.
You might write a few words, sketch something, try a creative activity, sit with a question, follow a thought, or simply let an idea stay with you. There’s no need to do everything, have the “right” words, or create a finished story.
While you’ll explore independently, you’re not exploring alone. You’ll have opportunities to connect with the wider group, share reflections if you choose, and join optional spaces to create alongside others.
There’s a structure to the journey, but no single way through it. Meet the Legend where you are.
Explore at your own pace. See where your story takes you.

The Legend of Unsinkable: A Storytelling Journey (Guided Group)
A 13-week virtual, guided storytelling journey.
Start date: Thursday, September 17th, 2026
How: Virtual on Zoom, Thursdays @ 8:00pm-9:30pm ET
Who: Youth (16-26)
What happens when a story gives you a little room to see yourself differently?
The Legend of Unsinkable invites you to step into a story, wander through its chapters, and discover what might feel familiar along the way. Over 13 weeks, we’ll explore the Legend together in a community of fellow storytellers, with the illustrated workbook as a companion throughout the journey.
Each week creates space to explore, reflect, create, and connect. Maybe a word catches your attention. Maybe a drawing says something you couldn’t quite put into words. Maybe someone else’s perspective makes you think about your own. Or maybe you simply listen and let the story sit with you for a while.
You don’t need to be a writer, have the “right” words, or arrive with a story ready to tell. You can write, draw, wonder, share, listen, or simply be present.
Come as you are. Explore the Legend together. See where your story takes you.

Explore the Peer-to-Peer Community!
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.
