RISE UP FOR BLACK YOUTH

Rise Up

What is RiseUp powered by Kids Help Phone?

African, Caribbean and Black youth and communities across Canada deserve mental health and well-being support informed by their rich cultures and diverse lived experiences. Kids Help Phone hears directly from young people about the impacts of anti-Black racism. We know that when Black folks need mental health support, they’re often met with limited options and inadequate care. We’re here to help close that gap.

RiseUp powered by Kids Help Phone is a national, 24/7, bilingual e-mental health support service for Black youth. The service is free and available from coast to coast to coast. It’s a program built in collaboration with Black community partners, Kids Help Phone’s Black Advisory Council, BlackNorth Initiative and people from across the Afro-diaspora of many different ages, genders and backgrounds.
