Supports for Students

Do you know someone who is struggling? 

You can access information on promoting healthy relationships in schools and on how to identify, prevent and respond to bullying.

The Bullying Helpline (1‑888‑456‑2323) is available 24 hours, 7 days a week in more than 170 languages, and the Bullying Online Chat is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at Bullying ‑ Find supports. Both are confidential.

Additional resources are available through the Alberta COVID‑19 Youth Mental Health Resource Hub, a partnership between the Alberta government, jack.org and the Kids Help phone line.

Indigenous students and staff may also wish to contact the toll-free Hope for Wellness Help Line at 1-855-242-3310 or the online chat at hopeforwellness.ca (open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week). This line offers immediate mental health counselling and crisis intervention to all Indigenous peoples across Canada in Cree, Ojibwe and Inuktitut.
