In February 2013, the TDSB released a mental health census which was conducted in 2011, involving over 100,000 students. The outcome was disturbing.
- Over 70% of the teens reported feeling sad, worried and concerned about their future.
- 50% of the teens who participated in the survey said they felt sad and anxious on a daily basis.
- 40% of the teens felt they were under a lot of stress.
These alarming statistics have ignited in us a passion and commitment to helping youth find ways of managing their stress.
