Why Support the Fondation Tel-jeunes?

Because each and every day, Tel-jeunes and LigneParents counselors answer questions like these:

“How can I help a friend who’s mutilating herself?”
“How can I make real friends?”
“I am anorexic and I have suicidal thoughts.”
“How can I know what my sexual orientation is?”
“Why am I feeling aggressive and depressed?”
“I want to help my friend. Her sister tried to commit suicide.”
“What can I do with my violent teenager?”
“How can I become a good dad?”
“I feel terrible because I think I have been a bad mother.”
“I am a single mom and I’m at my breaking point.”

Society evolves. Technology changes. And so do we!

Growing alongside them

To be able to pursue its mission, the Fondation Tel-jeunes’ services have to improve their technological platforms to keep up with constantly evolving communications. Our goals are to:

Develop and improve our workshop program by continuing to work with helpers in high schools and by becoming a hub of sex education information.
Evaluate and offer means of communication with our counselors meeting young people and parents' needs.
Produce web and audiovisual contents on the relevant topics for which young people and parents contact us, and be a hub of information on parent-teen relationships.
Provide on-going training to our professional counselors so they are always ready to answer new kinds of questions and gain cutting-edge expertise to increase understanding and intervention quality.
