Unsinkable Youth

The Unsinkable Youth Program is designed to support and develop diverse groups of youth into becoming agents of change, by harnessing the power of their own mental health stories and experiences. Unsinkable Youth meet in a virtual or in-person space to share experiences and gain inspiration to take steps towards mental well-being.

Facilitated by youth peers, and supervised by an Unsinkable Program Manager with support from a Clinical Advisor.
