A new mental health mobile app is supporting teens and young adults making decisions in crisis. The 'Be Safe' app was purchased by the Lambton-Kent public and St. Clair Catholic District School Boards with help from the Canadian Mental Health Association. Separate board Director of Education Dan Parr says they wanted a technology medium appealing to younger generations.

It allows users to make a safety plan and gives them options for getting help by empowering them to reach out safely.
