Across Canada the Kids In Distress Society is working to help every child have a safe and happy
childhood. We aim for a society that respects and values every child and equally every child respects and
values in themselves.
It is so easy in today's society for "normal" children to become abused and disadvantaged. Canada is a
leading nation in every respect yet we still have too high an incidence of childhood abuse, bullying and
neglect. Growing up in our ever changing, fast paced society causes enormous stress on so many young
people, leading them to make poor decisions and bad life choices.
Kids In Distress Society helps alleviate some of the issues affecting children and youth through early
intervention programs, mentoring, education and professionally facilitated camps, retreats, and
counselling programs.
Our group of committed volunteers and our professional colleagues work tirelessly in trying to make our
society a better place for all young people, helping children and youth make good life decisions and to
see them through to a successful conclusion. We believe strongly that every child can be a success and a
credit to the society in which they live and grow.
Thank you to all of you who have supported us and to those of you who will help us move forward and
help make the transition from unbearable situations to a happy, safe, and productive environment.
