Mission and Value
Peerify Youth is a youth-run initiative based in Canada dedicated to providing support and improving mental health of vulnerable youth. We recognize that mental illness is one of many ongoing issues that many adolescents face, but we also look into creating a community of youth that could freely express themselves without any constraint. Here at Peerify Youth, we firmly believe in the power of coexisting with one another on a mutual level through lived experiences or feelings, as a means to creating a sense of belonging and supportive network. Our vision is for adolescents in this community to achieve a healthy mindset and transformative experience through our workshops. We create workshops in which participants can come into the space on a bi-weekly basis with a given theme or discussion topic to focus upon. We have already hosted them in regions such as the Greater Toronto Area, and we are currently in the process of planning mobilized workshops, hosted by youths, in multiple regions across the nation. These workshops and interactive platforms will create a safe and tight-knit community, where adolescents are able to express themselves, as well as have the opportunity to support one another through the similarities that every member shares. Activities which include, conferences, events, and presentations will be held during these scheduled workshops to educate and support youth. We also provide services such as free online support and conduct community-based projects, all the while promoting our core values.
