Mission Statement
WES for Youth Online provides ongoing counselling to Ontario ages 13-24 through email, live-chat, and video services – free of charge.
About This Cause
It is often during difficult transitional periods that we need the most support. For young people, who are commonly faced with overwhelming stress and anxiety from school, relationships, and their families, this support can be the key to finding success and building the foundation for better mental health. Wellness & Emotional Support (WES) for Youth Online provides free, professional virtual counselling to youth ages 13-24 in Ontario. Our organization provides a safe and inclusive space for youth to receive ongoing support and develop coping skills for all they are facing. In 2012, our founding family, the Camerons, channeled the grief they were experiencing from the loss of their son Wes, into an avenue to help the youth of their community. Since then, WES for Youth Online (WFYO) has provided counselling to thousands of youth across Ontario. WFYO provides ongoing counselling, which is critical to allow youth the opportunity to develop a trusting relationship with their counsellor. WFYO understands that mental health is complicated, and the concerns of youth need time and trust to work through. To provide youth with the support they want without barriers or limitations, our service has no time constraints or counselling session limits. Our youth can connect with one of our Master’s level counsellors through the asynchronous email-to-email option, the live chat function, or through video call, all within the safety of our secure platform. Our youth are able to access WFYO’s service and app anywhere they feel comfortable and have the option to express themselves through creative means using our media submission centre. WES for Youth Online works to meet youth where they are. By providing evidence-based care to all Ontario youth, we offer support when they want it and how they want it. Together, for better mental health.
