About BLUE WAVE


BLUE WAVE is About Change...Change in Society - Change in You!


Mental health is just as important as physical health.
It's the goal of BLUE WAVE to bring mental health issues to the forefront, talk about them, understand them and change them. Whether you're suffering yourself or know someone who is, the change starts with YOU. The BLUE WAVE Movement is about increasing awareness, finding solutions, fostering hope and ending the stigma.


You can make a difference. You will make a difference... It's time for change!


Purpose of the BLUE WAVE Website

  • The BLUE WAVE website has been created as a media/portal where youth and parents can learn about the challenges surrounding mental health issues.
  • The underlying message is that we all feel "Blue" from time to time, and that it is: OK2B BLUE.
  • However, prolonged "Blueness" or depression, may be a symptom of what could be a more serious mental health issue if left untreated. Hence, the need for broadscale education relating to the mind which, in such cases, would raise awareness for early intervention.
  • The purpose of BLUE WAVE is not to counsel or recommend but rather, direct people to the professional people or organizations who can provide help and assistance. Please go to the HELPLINES section CLICK HERE, should you need assistance.
  • The BLUE WAVE website will also be a place of encouragement where youth can -
    • Empathize with those in need;
    • Share their own stories and experiences;
    • View videos on a variety of topics such as: bullying - eating disorders - depression - anxieties, etc.
    • Listen to music and watch music video clips.
  • The website will be a place where PARENTS can learn about and understand the challenges that their youth may be encountering.
  • The website will be a vehicle whereby individuals and corporations can contribute financially toward the vision of BLUE WAVE. Donations

The BLUE WAVE website will continue to evolve and expand, updating on events and activities for go-forward.
