These kinds of programs are great for encouraging the next generation of farmers. Let’s see if we can keep Alberta in the lead for forage and grazing innovations 😏. (I might be a bit biased…)

Are you ready to put your pasture planning skills to the test?

We’re launching a Kids Grazing Plan Challenge for youth in Alberta who want to learn more about rotational grazing—and there are awesome prizes up for grabs!

If you are interested in caring for your pasture, livestock, and environment, take some time to complete this really cool project.

- Design your own grazing plan
- Use Google Maps or draw it out
- Include a legend, grazing chart, and 3 photos
- A short description of how this grazing plan works for you!

Great to see the progress of this initiative working its way around the province. Supporting kids and connecting them directly to service providers.

We are proud to share that in just 8 days, Kickstand Medicine Hat will officially open its doors — our 6th physical hub! 🎉

This is a huge milestone for us as we continue building safe, welcoming spaces for young people across Alberta. At Kickstand Medicine Hat, young people will have access to the full range of our services: mental health, substance use, peer support, and much more.

We’re grateful to our partners, staff, and community members who have made this possible. Together, we are creating spaces that connect, empower, and support young people.

Kickstand is Alberta’s connection to youth integrated services. It’s a not for profit supported by the Mental Health Foundation private donors and grants. They have been expanding integrations with schools allowing students to access actual people (not just “resources”).

People aged 15-25 fall through the cracks in our health care system as they are less desirable patients (bring in less money) that us older more needy folks. This is critical since physicians continue to be the primary first point of contact for mental health support in rural communities, and su***de is said to be the leading cause of death in the same group.

If you’re between the ages of 11 and 25 and live in Alberta, Kickstand is here for you. We offer free, confidential services; both online and in person.

Whether you need mental health support, peer support, or help with substance use, Kickstand provides a safe and welcoming space to get the support you need.
