program. We seek to establish a team of young people ages 15-22
years from across the province who will act as youth ambassadors,
known as the Youth Safety Council. Once created, we will facilitate
them to address the most pressing health and safety issues in their
localities.

Frayme is thrilled to launch an innovative National Lived Expertise Network that will positively impact the way we connect with individuals from across the system: Groundbreakers. This new network of youth and caregivers with lived expertise will
embark on collective efforts to support the most pressing needs within the youth mental health and substance use system. The underpinning of this model is knowledge equity, a social justice approach concerned with the power and privilege associated with knowledge production and consumption. Together, Groundbreakers will use their voices to help transform the system - are you ready to join us? The Atlantic Youth Challenge to Prevent Drugged Driving
We are looking for youth to take part in The Atlantic Youth Challenge to Prevent Drugged Driving. It’s a peer-to peer social media campaign, where youth can share about the risks, dangers and facts about driving under the influence of cannabis in their own words, using the social media app of their choice. Youth will be paid for their posts and there will be a grand prize for the post with the most likes and shares! Interested youth can call Anna @ 726- 8880 to learn more. Changes to 811 Text Communication
The Newfoundland and Labrador HealthLine (811) has
implemented secure text (chat) functionality in the HealthLine App
to facilitate communication with Callers who are deaf, hard of
hearing or identify as having communication difficulties. This
functionality replaces the cell phone which was implemented in
March 2020 as a temporary communication measure when access
to Video Relay Services (VRS) was impeded due to high demand. In
the very near future, the cell phone will no longer be used.
To facilitate the transition from cell to app texting, relevant
messaging on COVID-19 and any other documents must be revised.
Please update your messaging to users as follows below.
Please delete:
A dedicated text and Video Relay Service (VRS) line are available for
individuals who may be hard-of hearing, identify as having
communication disability, or are Deaf, by calling:
Text line number is 709-216-8188
VRS number is 1-888-834-1252
