Be Safe App (resources specific for Northumberland County are available through the app – just select Northumberland County as the Region while on the app)
The Be Safe App is a mobile friendly app that was developed by Mind your Mind in collaboration with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the Systems Improvement through Service Collaboratives in London, Ontario, to improve access to and coordination of mental health and addiction services for children, youth and families.
The Be Safe App is an easy to use, accessible tool, available 24/7, to support decision making during a crisis. The Be Safe App is available as an Apple or Android app, and as a paper pocket guide. It is aimed to help youth across Ontario access relevant resources, in their own community, to help in a crisis.
The Be Safe App is meant to complement a helping relationship and is not a substitute for professional clinical services. One of the unique features of the app is its portability – which is particularly important for older youth who may be moving to new communities to attend college, university, trade school or to pursue work opportunities.
The Be Safe App can be downloaded on your cell phone for free by clicking here.
