/In 2024, you helped us transform the lives of young people facing illness, grief, and life’s toughest challenges.
Because of you, youth across Canada found connection, community, and hope through our secure, professionally guided online spaces—Upopolis, Grief Island, and On Common Grounds.
Thanks to your support last year:
550 youth received direct support through Upopolis, with a 60% increase in peer interactions.
97% of youth using the Wanderings Grief Journal said it helped them process emotions.
We launched 6 new Common Grounds groups and expanded Upopolis “Islands” for grief, siblings, and young adult programs.
Over 60 youth became peer mentors, turning their own challenges into a source of hope for others.
Every story, every connection, every moment of healing—you made it possible.
As we look ahead to 2025, we’re building on this momentum with four bold initiatives:
Expanding diagnosis-specific peer groups so more youth feel seen and supported.
Bringing Grief Island and the Wanderings Journal nationwide with new language options and outreach to underserved communities.
Re-engaging our healthcare referrer network to connect more youth in need to safe, supportive spaces.
Launching a dedicated Upopolis mobile app to make support accessible anytime, anywhere.
📄 We’ve captured the full story of your impact—and our vision for the future—in our 2024 Annual Report.
Please take a moment to read it and see the difference you’ve made.
Together, we’re ensuring no young person has to face life’s hardest moments alone.
Thank you for being part of the KHLF and Upopolis family.
