“We’ve absolutely seen a big increase in the amount of young people who are reaching out,” Tamar Brannigan from Kids Help Phone told CTV News on Friday. “Our service volume is up 112 per cent from last year … It’s massive the amount of need that we’re seeing.”
“One in three texters who reach out to us through our texting line are saying that they are nervous about back-to-school, so this is huge on young people's minds right now,” Brannigan says. “A lot of those folks who are reaching out are worried about things like isolation and being alone and struggling with their mental [health].”
The uptick in cases comes as school bus route cancellations pile up in Ontario due to a “severe driver shortage.”regarding the pandemic and lack of clarity around safety protocols and access to personal protective equipment has kept drivers off the job.
Your fault, medias. You created this. You continue to terrorize population. Per chance, many of us have stopped believing you.
CHILD ABUSE! Fuckers would have been jailed for this only 8 months ago!!!!
How can you tell the truth is being told? When Facebook blocks it. Twitter deletes it. Google hides it. YouTube bans it. The Media censors it. And your Government forbids it.
Wow, these stories really bring out the right wing nut jobs. Looking at these comments, it doesn't take long to figure out that Trump has cult members north of the border too. Cult45
BS. Most kids don't take this pandemic crap seriously
When all you here on the CTV News is back to school covid cases of course there will be fear and anxiety. Even kids they get and flu at schools going flu season.
Well duh! You’ve been scaring the shit out of them with your boogeyman tales for the last 6 months, what did you expect?
This is Caused by CTV. CBC. Thanks to these platforms our kids have a lot of healing to do But they will be fine. 4 more years of Mr Trump
Way to go government ... bunch of bullies!!
This is ridiculous , these kids are probably just feeling the anxiety from their parents.
Yeah I wonder WHY?!? It’s almost like you have spent the past 6 months doing your best to terrify everyone... When kids are forced to wear masks to go to school and spend time with their friends, what do you expect will happen?!
4 out of 5 CTV 'journalists' forget how to reduce 8 out 10 because they failed math. The other 1 purposely chooses not to properly reduce the ratio because larger numbers have greater impact frightening stupid people
Wow
Nonsense
FakeNewsMediaClowns are delighted.
That's YOUR FAULT Reconcile
Maybe 8 out of 10 that read your fake news!!
What did you expect...If we are constantly inundated with fear and being told we are in danger from a virus by media?
Because the people have been terrorized by the media and government officials.
100% fault of government and MSM.
Well.. 10/10 staff have anxiety for sure.
Masks, social distancing, and prison like school procedures will do that. It's all child abuse.
All the fear mongering is having a very traumatic impact on these poor kids!!
Gee, I wonder why?
Your headlines are becoming unbearable
Due entirely to Gov't and media fear mongering.
100 %
Thanks government and media for scaring the crap out of our kids because of a virus that barely affects them.
Hat tip mainstream media. Way to scare the little kids.
