Mise Au Point  

Un message de Sharon Wood


J'ai lu récemment un mot de remerciement affiché sur notre site Web par un des 640 jeunes qui ont communiqué avec nous chaque jour l'an dernier. Le message m'a particulièrement touchée. Il concernait d'abord et avant tout le travail difficile de nos intervenants qui voient rarement les résultats de leurs efforts, mais qui sont motivés par la croyance qu'aucun appel à l'aide lancé par un enfant ne peut être ignoré.

Un tel message, ainsi que mon initiation continue à toutes ces actions mises en œuvre afin d'offrir de l'espoir aux jeunes du pays, ont renforcé mon engagement à travailler avec chacun d'entre vous afin de mettre à profit les réussites et la réputation de Jeunesse, J'écoute.

Je travaille dans le secteur des organismes à but non lucratif depuis près de 25 ans. Bien que les dernières années aient été difficiles avec la baisse des dons aux organismes caritatifs causée par l'inquiétude du public suite au déclin économique, Jeunesse, J'écoute continue de servir un but bien précis et d'afficher une confiance tandis que nous nous tournons vers l'avenir et planifions les prochaines années.

Le dimanche 2 mai, marchez pour que nos jeunes puissent s’exprimer



En 2002, 18 000 Canadiens ont appuyé la toute première Marche pour Jeunesse, J’écoute et ont recueilli plus d’un million de dollars dans 21 villes. Ce fut une journée amusante et réussie, un effort qui venait du cœur. L’événement a grandi avec les années. Depuis 2002, nous avons engagé 25 entreprises commanditaires nationales. L’objectif en 2010 est d’amasser trois millions de dollars. Voici comment nous allons réussir. Cliquez ici.

Une autre façon d’être à l’écoute des jeunes



Que les jeunes gens soient plus réceptifs aux messages qui sont communiqués par Internet n’a rien d’étonnant. C’est ici qu’ils échangent avec leurs amis, qu’ils s’informent pour leurs travaux scolaires, qu’ils trouvent de quoi se divertir… Et, pour la nouvelle génération, Internet est aussi une ressource où l’on peut trouver de l’aide lorsqu’on a un problème, peu importe le problème. À l’heure du nouveau lancement du site jeunessejecoute.ca, notre promesse de répondre de façon pertinente et novatrice aux besoins changeants des jeunes prend tout son sens.

Brenda called Kid’s Help Phone to vent about her parents. She said they were being unreasonable by not allowing her to meet a boy. The 15-year-old was considering sneaking out anyway. A few questions revealed that the boy was someone she’d “met” on the Internet – and that he’d first said he was 15, but was actually 29. The KHP counselor talked about Brenda’s natural curiosity, but also about possible dangers. It didn’t take long for Brenda to admit to having “funny feelings” about it. By the end of the call, she’d decided to try to find someone her own age, met the “old-fashioned” way. Mike told us he was traveling fast on the road to nowhere. He wanted to get off drugs and off the streets. The KHP counselor calmed Mike, assessed his needs, and found him a safe shelter. Years later, Mike called again. Now 20, he was back in school, with a steady job and a new life. He was calling to say thanks – not just for what KHP had done, but most of all for listening to him and believing in him. Mike says KHP helped him turn his life around. Today, he spends his spare time helping street youth. Ten-year-old Megan was being sexually and physically abused. Two nights earlier, she’d been placed in a foster home, but didn’t feel comfortable talking to her foster parents yet. With gentle prompting, Megan began to tell her story. Her feelings were agonizingly mixed. Despite everything, she missed her mom’s bedtime stories and the familiarity of home. It meant a lot to be able to talk about her feelings with someone she could trust. Together, Megan and KHP looked at what Megan could do to make things easier, like getting bedtime stories on tape. She was grateful to be reminded that her foster home would become more familiar each day, and that KHP would be there whenever she needed it in the days ahead.
