Compass Stands in Solidarity to End the Fight Against Racism

June 9, 2020

Compass stands in solidarity to end the fight against racism. As the lead agency for Child and Youth Mental Health, we believe in creating an equitable future for the children, youth and families in our communities. We must continue to speak out, to listen and stand united in the fight to eliminate all forms of racism.

It is by questioning our own unconscious biases and educating ourselves that we can move forward to create a world without racism and discrimination.

Please see the list of resources regarding racism and discrimination:
