BullyingCanada’s Mission
We Give Bullied Youth Brighter Futures.
Through our wrap-around mental health service, BullyingCanada’s trained support volunteers and professional counsellors work one-on-one with bullied Canadian youth, their parents, and local supports for as long as it takes to bring an end to the bullying and help them heal.
What We Stand For
A Safe Place to Turn
BullyingCanada provides a safe environment and supportive resources for Canadian youth affected by bullying, empowering them with the guidance and support they need to navigate difficult situations and reach a positive outcome.
Understanding and Compassion
We strive to foster an environment of understanding and compassion, enabling youth to make informed decisions and build resilience against further bullying.
Safe, Respectful, and Impactful
We are committed to making sure bullying is addressed within Canada’s communities in a safe, respectful, and impactful manner.
What We Do
Our Youths Are Worth Fighting For.
BullyingCanada is the only national charity solely dedicated to creating a brighter future for bullied youth. What began as a youth-created website bringing bullied kids together, with information on bullying and how to stop it, is now a full 24/7/365 support service.
Youth, parents, coaches, and teachers contact our Lifeline: Bullied Youth Support Network by phone, text, and email for help making the bullying stop.
We also offer presentations about bullying, live and virtual. Book a presentation.
How We Do It
Our Unique Difference.
BullyingCanada stands by those who reach out for help until we can bring an end to their bullying.
Expert Advice
Sometimes people who contact us just need expert advice on how to handle a bullying situation.
A Team Built Around the Child
For those who have tried to stop the bullying without success, or don’t know how, our highly trained volunteer Support Responders work with bullied kids, their families, school staff, coaches, and even police if necessary. We build a team of support around the young person, and work with that team to negotiate an end to the bullying.
A Safer School for Everyone
We make sure the young person’s school has a bullying policy and knows how best to enforce it, to keep all the kids in that school safe.
We Don’t Stop
Whether it takes days, months, or a year or more, we don’t stop until the youths who trust us to help them are no longer bullied.
Counsellors on Call 24/7
Our volunteer Professional Counsellors are on call 24/7 to help kids who are suicidal or self-harming. They also provide counselling to help kids heal from the trauma of being bullied.
No other charity goes to this length to stand by bullied youth until they are once again at peace.
Why We Do It
Because We Believe in You and Your Future.
Our co-founders, Rob Benn-Frenette, O.N.B., and Katie Thompson (Neu), were both victims of extreme bullying, from elementary school through high school. That shared experience brought them together to build BullyingCanada.
Every day, BullyingCanada works tirelessly to give bullied kids a brighter future.
