CF Montréal commits to the mental health of youth
Sensitive to and involved in the development and well-being of young people, the club is proud to take its commitment a step further by joining forces with the Fondation Jeunes en Tête (FJET), an organization dedicated to promoting positive mental health and preventing psychological distress among young people.
Psychological distress is at the heart of most problems experienced by teenagers: 1 in 3 young people present symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Through this partnership, the Fondation Jeunes en Tête brings valuable expertise to our community, offering awareness-raising workshops and online tools to sensitize and equip not only young athletes but all teens and their entourage to the importance of taking care of one's mental health, in sport and in everyday life.
