Free Therapy for Black Youth in Canada – Because You Deserve Support
You’re Not Alone. We See You. We Hear You. Your Healing Matters.
We know that being a Black youth in Canada comes with unique challenges. From dealing with racism, stress, and anxiety to feeling like you always have to be strong, it can be exhausting. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
Healing Pathways for Youth is here to offer real support—from real therapists who understand what you’re going through.
What You Get
What’s the deal?
We offer nine FREE virtual therapy sessions for Black youth aged 12 to 25 across Canada. Our therapists are culturally responsive, meaning they actually get the struggles that come with being Black in this world—whether it’s racism, family stress, anxiety, or just needing a safe space to talk.
Nine FREE Therapy Sessions
No cost, no stress. Just real support from someone who understands you.
Black & Culturally Responsive Therapists
Therapists who get what it’s like to navigate anti-Black racism, family expectations, and everything in between.
Anywhere in Canada
Therapy is 100% virtual, so you can talk to someone from wherever you are.
Confidential & Safe
What you share stays between you and your therapist. No judgment. No pressure. Just support.
