Be Safe Goes Province Wide
Be Safe, a free app created in 2014 to help youth in London Middlesex more effectively connect with local mental health and addiction resources, has now been expanded across the province. The new version of Be Safe will launch June 19, 2015 and includes provincial-level resources and community-specific resources in 13 partner regions across Ontario.
In addition to these new regions, Be Safe now includes some updates in the revised version. Specifically, there is a new section with information on what to expect when accessing services, how to wait for help safely, and your rights as a patient. A zine developed by the youth involved in creating Be Safe, which outlines the processes involved in creating the original app and making adaptations for the new version, is available for viewing at mindyourmind.ca.
Be Safe is immediately available for free download to any Apple or Android mobile device from mindyourmind.ca/be-safe.
A free training webinar for professionals about how to use the app will be held on July 14, 2015 at 1pm. Space is limited, so register early at Eventbrite.
