Get Help!

Do you need help? Do you feel you need to talk to someone? Sometimes children and adults think that no one else can understand their problems, so they keep their problems a secret. But talking about problems can be a big help. Talk to an adult you can trust. It might be your teacher or guidance counsellor. Or phone one of the numbers below.

Remember to call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency.
