Youth Resources

We've put together a list of organizations for you that can help you improve your coping strategies.

As you can see, the list is pretty long. Take this as a sign that you are not the only one going through a dark time, and that there's lots of help available to you.

And remember the best resource available to you is always human contact.

You can chat online with a volunteer listener in real time:
