Why are you passionate about WES for Youth Online?
I am passionate about WFYO to honour my son Wes. Creating this organization was the only way I could move forward each day. It has been comforting to know that we are able to help young people with their mental health struggles and give them a safe space to connect with someone who knows how to help. It is my hope that we can continue to help the families of struggling youth along the way.
