I recently came across a resource intended for young Canadians called “Walk Along”. Put together by UBC and Bell Let’s Talk, walk along has a new take on internet mental health.

From the site walkalong.ca:

What is WalkAlong?

WalkAlong isn’t your typical mental health website. We are a community where young Canadians can explore their mental health amongst their peers. At WalkAlong we believe wellness comes from empowerment and we like to see WalkAlong as a companion; someone to walk along with you during your journey to better mental health. This portal is a Canadian-based mental health resource that also provides information and links to existing mental health care resources for friends & family members.

Ongoing consultation with young Canadians and expert health care professionals guarantees the continued development of a cutting-edge, robust, comprehensive, and appropriate web resource. We hope that WalkAlong will support you and your support network in taking a more empowering role in the managing your well being.
