Tanner Steffler Foundation provides navigation and peer support to youth between the ages of 12-29 and their caregivers struggling with mental health and/or addiction in Huron and Perth Counties.

What’s New

Funded by the Central Huron Community Foundation, TSF has created an internal survey to get an overview on the current state of mental health and substance use among young people (12-29) in Huron County.

If you are between 12-29 and live in Huron County, fill out our survey for a chance to win a $100 gift card! Scan the QR code or click here.

This non-clinical survey aims to get accurate data on:
- Amount of young people experiencing poor mental health and/or substance use
- Knowledge of poor mental health and problematic substance use
- Knowledge of protective factors and available community support services
- If young people feel they have support for their mental health/substance use
- If young people feel they are able to support other people experiencing mental health/substance use problems

Collecting this data will help us understand how we can better support young people in our community and provide getting up-to-date data for our area. The data collected will be compiled into infographics and will be available for review on our website at a later date.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us through email or on our social media.

TSF introduces Youth Voice Bursary to empower young advocates

MyFM - Jan 8, 2024

“The unique aspect of this bursary lies in its inclusivity. Unlike many others, it doesn’t strictly focus on post-secondary education. Instead, it celebrates and rewards the courage of youth who have passionately shared their stories or contributed to positive change, irrespective of their academic plans.

Amelia Morrison, a Grade 12 student is serving her co-op placement at the foundation – she shared her experiences, emphasizing the importance of advocacy in a region with limited resources for youth.”
