On Pink Shirt Day, weโ€™re thinking about the young people who walk through our doors. ๐Ÿ‘š

This chair represents someone who deserves to feel safe, heard, and respected.

In our children and youth grief programs, every seat holds a story โ€“ of loss, change, confusion, anger, love. For many young people, those feelings donโ€™t always have words. What they need most is emotional safety.

Pink Shirt Day is about standing up to bullying and choosing kindness, respect, and inclusion. At PAHS, we create spaces where children and youth can show up as they are โ€“ without judgment or pressure, free to be themselves. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Today, we invite everyone to lift up a young person, offer a kind word, or simply listen. Thatโ€™s how we make every space safer. ๐Ÿซถ

Youโ€™ll find a wide range of titles, including general grief, specific types of loss, and self-care resources.

While our office will be closed, support is always available in our community. If you or someone you know requires immediate emotional support, the Fraser Health Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 604-951-8855 or toll-free at 1-877-820-7444.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and connected Family Day. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
