The Community Outreach Center

YCAN (Youth Community Action Networking) is a youth program located at the Robert Cotton Centre in Stratford that also serves in Charlottetown, Montague, and Summerside. The program assists youth to gather and identify issues in the community, choose one they would like to make a positive impact on, create a service project, and then put that project into action. The intent is to get teens more involved in their community and gain great employable skills! Multiple groups run each year with flexibility on start and end dates dependent on program needs. Please contact for more information!

Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support to young people in English and French. We began in 1989 as a unique telephone counselling service, launched to provide free, accessible support to any young person reaching out from coast to coast to coast. Our focus was supporting young people experiencing abuse, but almost immediately, young people let us know they needed more from the service than one focus and one way to reach us. For over 30 years, we’ve evolved our response and offerings. We concentrate on staying relevant to youth, recognizing the complexity of issues they face, and we help to ensure our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders are ready to address young people’s continuum of emotional and mental health needs, from crisis situations to the everyday concerns of growing up.
