Thanks to @RCYBC, @TrilbySmith @dylscoh etc. for naming ways our systems of care fail young people. Great recommendations -doable, achievable, affordable - to keep #youth safe & create stable futures for them. @Directions_FSGV is ready to implement.

Hey YEG - we are experiencing a brutal increase in overdoses. Please take great care of yourself and your friends. Don’t use alone. Go slow. Have someone with naloxone near by. Be aware of your tolerance level - it may be less if your use has stopped for awhile. We love you.

In 2019, most trans and non-binary youth (63%) who took our survey reported experiencing severe emotional distress; however, those with supportive families, safe schools, and/or a legal name change were less likely to do so. ow.ly/QlFT50zjxdJ #CTYHS2019 #MentalHealthWeek
