 Eileen Zheng, Windermere Community Schools Team Programmer


What others are saying

> invite me to join their group of friends.”

Grade 7 Student


What others are saying

> “Sometimes I’ll offer someone at school an apple as a way to start a

> talked to before.”

Grade 5 Student

What others are saying

> “We need to see to it that men and women who would never hesitate to go see a
> doctor if they had a broken arm or came down with the flu, that they have that
> same attitude when it comes to their mental health.”

Barack Obama

What others are saying

> "The work that Adam’s Apples is doing is key to engage youth to continue the

Ginny Dennehy, President, Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation


What others are saying

> "I feel like the Core Connector Initiative will be so helpful for any
> teenagers’ futures in so many ways. Firstly, helpful for friendships. Noticing

> such tough situations. My empathy has grown enormously through the Core
> Connector Initiative."

Max Greer, Grade 11 Student


What others are saying

> "I’d like you to know that Adam’s Apples Foundation has been greeted with
> great enthusiasm by our students. Yesterday I arrived in the Counselling suite
> after my class to find a group of my grade 11 students talking around one of
> the tables. I assumed that they were there to see me with questions about
> course planning, but it turns out that they were there to connect over Adam’s
> Apples!"

Janice Sim, Grade 11 Counsellor, Point Grey Secondary


What others are saying

> "I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel
> seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and
> when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship."

Brené Brown


What others are saying

> "Connection is the cornerstone for developing resiliency – a key protective
> factor for youth struggling with mental health issues on a day-to-day basis."
