Hello everyone, <\/span><\/p>\n

The Interligne youth program team would like to send you a quick note to inform you of the measures put in place to continue supporting the LGBTQ + communities, including youth, their families and their mentors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our helpline, which is considered an essential service,  is still operational, with our intervention team there to listen to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phone, text, chat, or email. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an exceptional time we are living in which has found our most vulnerable communities being forced to adapt to less-than-optimal living situations. Whether that means you are an LGBTQ+ youth who is forced to hide your true self from unaccepting family members at home, living in fear of violence, living alone and finding yourself more isolated than ever, or living with heightened anxiety and stress, we know you are there, we know it\u2019s hard, and even though it may feel like it, you are not alone. This can lead you to ask questions about yourself. Questions about your sexual orientation and\/or your gender identity. Interline remains there for you. Interline is also available for your parents who would like to understand you better or who may not know how to support you well. <\/span>We are here for you, and anyone else who needs someone to reach out to in these trying times. <\/span><\/p>\n

We at Interligne have noticed, we are sure you have as well, that the internet and social media in general is exploding with suggestions on how to fill the expanses of time we are all facing. From yoga and workout videos to virtual museum tours, to concerts, podcasts and reading material, movies and tv series,there is no shortage of ways to fill your time, and a lot of it is free. This is great news! But it can be a little overwhelming and difficult to know which choices will help you feel better and which will make you numb. So instead of adding more options, we want to offer a structure instead. Every day, as much as possible, take care of yourself! <\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 5 areas of self-care to cycle through as much as possible:<\/strong><\/p>\n
