We help prevent peer victimization like discrimination & bullying, and empower children and youth to embrace kindness.
To empower children and youth to cultivate healthy relationships through community-based educational initiatives.
All children and youth are living, learning, and playing in safe and caring communities.
The WITS Programs (formerly Rock Solid) Foundation is Canada’s leader in preventing victimization such as discrimination & bullying, and promoting kindness. WPF has positively impacted hundreds of thousands of children in all areas of Canada, in both English and French. We deliver Canadian Kindness Leaders, Pink Shirt Day Canada and WITS/DIRE, which in 2016 was declared ‘Best School Program of its Kind’ by researchers at Dalhousie University.
Our work is critical: more than 60% of youth experience bullying over a 2-month period, and 47% of Canadian parents report having a child who is a victim of bullying. The long-term impacts of peer victimization are significant and pervasive, increasing the likelihood of low self-esteem, depressive symptoms, anxiety, self-harm, substance abuse and more.
Our children deserve better: the WITS Programs Foundation is on a mission to inspire a generation of youth to embrace kindness, compassion, and inclusivity, and to equip children with the knowledge and skills to advocate for themselves and their peers.
In 2020 we added several new initiatives. We partnered with Travis Price, the co-founder and global advocate for Pink Shirt Day, to deliver our combined messages to school kids across Canada; and started Canadian Kindness Leaders, which inspires youth to create and implement their own projects centered around kindness.
Help us build a kinder society!
