Using the tools of friendship and resilience, UMatter is a teen led initiative for students in grades 9, 10 and 11 that aims at smashing the stigma surrounding mental health challenges.

UMatter is an empowering program that operates on a peer to peer model of teens building a support network with their peers to overcome obstacles and life's daily stresses. Our goal is to bring teens from a place of anxiety, isolation or depression to a place of motivation, hope and inclusion. We provide essential support that better prepares teens for future success.

UMatter is not solely aimed at students struggling with their mental health. Anyone who wants to be a part of the UMatter community can join. We all have something to offer, let's find out how YOU matter.

Funded by the Government of Canada’s Supports for Students Learning Program.
