ABOUT DARE TO CARE

Dare to Care was founded in 1999 because of a need to address the pervasive and crippling issue of bullying and mental illness that continues to affect children, youth, and adults to this day.  Dare to Care was created with the understanding that bullying and mental health is a societal issue and that if we are to have any impact, all stakeholders within a school, community or workplace must be involved in creating a climate of change. Since 1999, Dare to Care has delivered three flagship programs:

1) Innovative and age-appropriate workshops and forums for kindergarten through grade 9, sports teams, youth groups,etc.

2) Support and education for parents.

3) Extensive Professional Development for teachers, principals, coaches, officials, and the workplace.

By providing the tools and support that help children, youth, and adults recognize the signs of bullying and other challenging behaviours, Dare to Care has mobilized communities to take action against these issues. We believe that ALL individuals have the right to feel safe, welcome, and included in their school, community, and workplace.
