BIPOC Program

Hosted By: Raina B.

Program For Ages: 10 to 19 Years Old.

The BIPOC Program is a mental health promotion program for BIPOC youth, by BIPOC youth. The BIPOC Program aims to challenge the stigma of mental illness in racialized communities, direct youth to mental health resources, and create a safe environment for youth to connect with other youth who may suffer from mental illness.

Contributing To An Inclusive Canada

The BIPOC Program can contribute to an inclusive Canada by establishing an environment in which BIPOC youth empower BIPOC youth to participate in their communities by promoting mental health services. This aligns with the grant because this establishment of support for BIPOC Youth by BIPOC youth creates an environment in which youth can invite their sense of community and pair it with their background of community-mindedness.
