Prefer Virtual Support?
You don’t have to do a walkin appointment, if you don’t want to. Help is already available.
Kickstand Connect is a free virtual mental health platform for young people anywhere in Alberta. You can:
Talk to a therapist or counsellor
Join workshops and peer support groups
Access tools for mental wellness and coping
All from the comfort of your home.
Need immediate support outside our open times?
The support you need doesn’t always follow a schedule. When Kickstand staff are unavailable, you can still speak with someone who cares. Through our partnership with Kids Help Phone, trained crisis responders are available to listen and support you whenever you need to talk. You’re not alone.
