On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, October 10, the Youth in Mind Foundation is joining forces with GRIS-Montréal and Ensemble pour le respect de la diversité to launch a podcast series aimed at fostering a supportive environment for queer youth and those around them. 

Four episodes. Two languages. One universal quest: belonging. 

A classroom where someone speaks up for the very first time. A hallway where another shares how they finally felt at home. Sometimes whispered, sometimes through bursts of laughter—these are stories of identity, discovery, and affirmation. 

This documentary series—two episodes in French, two in English—takes us into the heart of school life to hear from those navigating the search for who they are. It explores coming out, building trust, the power of supportive looks—and the sting of hurtful ones. It also confronts the rise of LGBTQ-phobia and the ways people respond, with courage, humor, and tenderness. 

Through deeply personal testimonies, raw soundscapes, and the voices of educators and advocates, the series weaves together unique experiences bound by a common thread: the search for a safe space to live—and thrive—as your true self.
