We are not a crisis support line. If you are in an emergency, please call Huron Perth Helpline and Crisis Response Team at 1-888-829-7484 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

Rapid and easy access
Stigma free, low-barrier physical and virtual settings
Evidence-based, youth-specific interventions matched to the level of need
Early intervention
Youth and family partnership, engagement and support
Co-development and collaboration with youth, families, and community
Authentic partnerships with community service providers
Peer Support programs and training
Education and advocacy
Diversity and inclusion
Continuous improvement and evaluation

TSF aims to enhance and improve mental health and addiction resources and support networks for youth ages 12-29 and their caretakers within Huron and Perth Counties. We maximize our impact by following the evidence, partnering with others in the system, and most of all, listening to youth.

What We Do

Our Programs

What does this look like in action?

Here’s how we work to create a culture of change for youth mental health and addiction services in Huron and Perth Counties:

Educate parents, caregivers, community members and politicians through advocacy and presentations within the municipalities of Huron and Perth.

We collaborate with local parents, community members and school boards to facilitate and promote wellness and resilience in schools, while building a community of support for youth.

Empower youth to voice their needs, actively contribute to solutions, and set the direction of the Tanner Steffler Foundation through a Youth Advisory Council.
