YOU MATTER : Knowledge Centre

Hello Colleagues,

Welcome to the *YOU MATTER* Knowledge Centre for Kids Help Phone.

When the pandemic began, our focus was on keeping you safe, then keeping you safe and whole. Now we have added another layer, keeping you safe, whole and WELL.

Recognizing we are all impacted by COVID-19, like everyone in Canada, yet we are on the frontlines of mental health in this country. While many have referred to what the pandemic has taken away, I choose to focus on what it has given us, the focus on what is truly important – the importance of taking care of ourselves, so that we can take care of our families and so that we can take care of the 8.2M young people across Canada.

Recently we launched *YOU MATTER*, a comprehensive journey of well-being for everyone here at Kids Help Phone – inclusive of programs such as well-being labs, Friday Pulse surveys, including our Town Halls, IDEA training and more to come!

To actively maintain and house all the content from these programs, *YOU MATTER* Knowledge Centre was created.  A one-stop, engaging portal for all materials, videos and content related to *YOU MATTER*.

It is our hope that the *YOU MATTER* Knowledge Centre helps us care for each other so that we can continue to be here for the young people we support.  Thank you for your commitment to Kids Help Phone and to each other. I am excited for the journey of well-being in front of us, and am humbled to be part of this team.

Kathy Hay
