Words From A Student Ambassador

Three years ago I was going through a phase during which most of my life was revolving around the wrong crowd of people. At this time one, of my best friends had been telling me that he wished to take his own life. I had no idea what to do or how to handle such a situation, so I decided to call Kids Help Phone. The night I called, I was in a rush and sadly enough, my call was not answered before I had to go. Although right now my friend is okay, I decided that it was time for me to leave this crowd of friends that was holding me back and decided help Kids Help Phone so that youth like me could receive the service they need when they need it. I didn’t want anyone else to be put on hold again for as long as I was; I wanted to make a difference.

Music With Meaning!

Poste Français

"In conjunction with the Kids Help Phone, Tru Kings Records has been touring through Montreal and its surrounding areas, performing at high schools. The concerts are designed to raise awareness of issues within schools, such as racism, violence, peer pressure and depression.

Going on their third year, the 2009 Music With Meaning tour will include performances by Tru Kings' artist M'City Solo and special guests like Bad News Brown, DJ Blaster and Pamela.

Giving back to the community is one of Tru Kings' biggest priorities. Performers and their representatives take time between concerts to speak to students about struggles they might face and how they can use the Kids Help Line to get through them. " -musicwithmeaning.ca
