From our amazing Social Media Youth Team: wellness with the Medicine Wheel. #covidandkidsbc #medicinewheel
Thanks to @RCYBC, @TrilbySmith @dylscoh etc. for naming ways our systems of care fail young people. Great recommendations -doable, achievable, affordable - to keep #youth safe & create stable futures for them. @Directions_FSGV is ready to implement.
THANK YOU @Wondershare!
We visited @Directions_FSGV with a donation of 600 cloth masks, made exclusively for the at-risk youth they care for in Vancouver. ❤️
Thank you, Directions Youth Services, for supporting the community with us!

For people who use substances, download Lifeguard App, and after using, if you don’t respond to an alarm, EMS will be alerted. #opioidcrisis #druguseduringpandemic apps.apple.com/ca/app/lifegu…

Hey YEG - we are experiencing a brutal increase in overdoses. Please take great care of yourself and your friends. Don’t use alone. Go slow. Have someone with naloxone near by. Be aware of your tolerance level - it may be less if your use has stopped for awhile. We love you.
It’s always a great time to make a financial contribution to @VanFamServices but especially now with this matching donation. This will help @Directions_FSGV serve #youth struggling with #COVID__19 AND the #opioidcrisis.

In 2019, most trans and non-binary youth (63%) who took our survey reported experiencing severe emotional distress; however, those with supportive families, safe schools, and/or a legal name change were less likely to do so. ow.ly/QlFT50zjxdJ

Thx @MegaphoneMag for the shout out. It takes a village. Thanks for all you do.
@Directions_FSGV supports youth who are homeless, 24/7 all year.
Along with a daily meal, emergency shelter and other supports, they provides pre-employment training and offers art programs - all on top of running a detox centre, safe houses and a supportive housing program.
Shout out to John K, a long standing staff member of ours. An incredible client-centred social worker to #youth who experience #homelessness and mentor to our junior staff. #dreamteam
