We hosted the annual Headstrong Youth Mental Health Summit on February 12, bringing together students from five middle schools across the Greater Victoria area to connect, learn, and talk openly about mental health.

Since 2016, this has been our 11th Headstrong Summit in Victoria, BC and this year’s gathering carried a deeper sense of purpose. In the wake of recent tragic news, it was a profound moment to create space for compassion, community, and care.

Students showed extraordinary leadership and courage, including a powerful presentation from local high school students who are developing a peer-created mental health toolkit to support other youth. Their work is a reminder that young people are not only seeking support, they are leading change.

We are so grateful to every student, speaker, educator, and partner who helped make this day possible. When young people come together to talk about mental health, stigma fades and hope grows.
