Choose the youth mental health mentorship service that's right for you.

Your child is unique, and so are their social and emotional needs.

We know from studies that regular and enduring interactions between mentors and mentees lead to deeper trust, tailored guidance, and more personal growth. It takes time and patience to earn the trust of teens, and even more time to truly understand their needs and provide support they’ll respond to positively. For more detailed information on how research shapes this program, check out the full details here.

Let’s chat and discuss the best way forward.

Personalized, focused support through weekly hangouts designed around your teen’s unique needs and interests. Ideal for teens who prefer individualized attention, struggle with social anxiety, or need flexible, proactive support to build confidence, independence, and life skills. These sessions offer a safe, one-on-one space to explore challenges and grow at their own pace.

A supportive, fun environment for teens to build friendships and practice social skills in a small group setting. Great for teens who want to develop their social confidence in a more interactive, peer-based environment. Group sessions provide a sense of belonging while working together on personal growth, guided by Jackie’s mentorship and encouragement.

Why Choose Comrade Morpho

Relationship-Based Support

Teens are naturally guarded and private, especially when they’re struggling. Earning their trust and respect is essential for meaningful mentorship. I work hard to build genuine bonds with mentees, moving with intention between being a friend, confidant, and mentor.

Meetings in natural settings

No more awkward sessions in an artificial environment. I hang out with mentees in real-world settings—whether we’re out in nature, around the community, or at my place. Our activities are always flexible and shaped by their evolving moods, interests, abilities, and goals.

Proactive and Consistent

I am available 7-days a week via text for mentees in my inclusive program because life happens immediately for teenagers. I am there to provide them with non-parental adult support and guidance. Plus, I reach out to check-in, make weekly plans, and to share helpful resources and hilarious memes.

Convenient and Flexible

I handle all of the driving, including pick-ups and drop-offs. Not just to make things easier for parents, but to give teens a sense of autonomy, which helps builds confidence. This feature keeps the mentorship feeling natural and allows hangouts to end organically.

Client Testimonials

“A few months in, I was able to go out by myself in public and not feel extremely panicky. Jackie has helped me a lot with my social anxiety. She has helped me with everything basically. I call her my ‘cool aunt.’ She’s awesome, very understanding. You can talk to her about anything, and she won’t judge you.”
Sloane - 18/TheyThem/Guelph
“She had so much fun, I am so thankful for you putting on this group. It's made a huge impact even though it seems short and simple. I know this will help her so much heading into high school. We've tried other groups before but they were always bigger and she bailed, you hit the sweet spot I think with making it comfy and low commitment. She hadn't been able to attend school or make friends for several years due to her social anxiety. So this felt ground breaking. She really connected with you, and that in itself is a very good litmus test.”
