Kourtney was first connected to Choices for Youth when she was recommended to our counselling services, and then accessed supportive housing with The Lilly and RallyForward.
With the support of CFY, Kourtney has been able to gain stability and independence, and has re-focused on her education and employment goals.
Kourtney has participated in as many opportunities as possible while she works towards her goals. Through CFY’s Education, Employment and Social Enterprise department she received training and developed new skills, and she also worked with Chef Lois in the Outreach and Youth Engagement Centre kitchen, learning how to cook and prepare meals for young people.
““Since I’ve been part of Choices, I’ve been able to deal and cope with a lot of the downs of my mental health. I’m able to talk more about how I’m feeling.””
Kourtney is proud of her growth and accomplishments over the last six years. She has been focused on strengthening her mental health, and the RallyForward program team has supported her efforts along the way.
Kourtney is looking forward to continuing her journey with RallyForward, and aims to learn more about how to support other young people with their mental health.
Every year, Choices for Youth works with over 1,000 young people in our community supporting them with housing, health, employment and family.
