Young people aged 15 to 24 face a unique set of challenges

Young people aged 15 to 24 face a unique set of challenges, making them more susceptible to mental illness and substance use disorders than any other age group. This critical period can be filled with pressure, uncertainty, and significant life changes, which can affect mental well-being. However, it’s essential to remember that support is available, and you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, reach out for help. There are resources ready to assist you, including the Mental Health and Addictions Support Healthline, which you can contact by dialing 811. Additionally, you can find a wealth of information and support through the Bridge the Gap directory at nl.bridgethegapp.ca.

At the Charles J. Andrew Healing Centre (CJAHC), we understand the importance of community and family support in the healing process. Our Family Program is designed to help families navigate their challenges together, fostering a safe and supportive environment.
