KNDT’s ‘Naskwahamâtowin - Let’s all share in the music’ project combines Make Music Matter’s Healing in Harmony therapy model with Indigenous music, languages, and culture to help address the mental health crisis in their community and other devastating effects of intergenerational trauma.

These incredible Canadian athletes got together with Kids Help Phone to remind young people that their feelings always have a place to go. No matter what you’re feeling, you can text 686868 to get support from Kids Help Phone for any issue, big or small. Even champions need champions. #BellLetsTalk
Even champions need champions. For every basket sank there are countless misses. For every record broken there’s an equal amount of fractures and tears. And for every critic, there’s a harsher one living inside of our heads. Just like young people living in Canada who have contacted Kids Help Phone 20 million times since January 2020, athletes understand how important it is to feel supported when it comes to mental health. Athletes across Canada have come together to champion our #FeelOutLoud movement and remind all youth that their feelings ALWAYS have a place to go. With your support, we can help unlock hope for millions of young people. Join the movement and donate at 686868.ca Andre De Grasse, OLY, William Nylander, Kia Nurse, Penny Oleksiak, Marissa Papaconstantinou, Kelly Olynyk, Donté Colley #MentalHealth #Wellness #MentalHealthAwareness
