As a child, or even as a teenager, we’ve always wanted to be some sort of super hero. Batman, Spiderman, or Super Man were our role models, people who we looked up to and fantasized we could be like. I mean, flying is pretty awesome, isn’t it?
But we’ve grown to recognize that we can’t be those super heroes. We can’t go around saving people in distress and receiving fame. Or can we?
ConnecTeen is basically the super hero headquarters. Inside, there are volunteers — super heroes that save people in distress. ConnecTeen is a confidential peer support service (by actual teenagers who understand what teenagers are going through). Their service is confidential, anonymous, and non-judgmental.
However, ConnecTeen has recently collaborated with ZEDS to create a comic called “A Call for Help.” To celebrate the release of the comic, there is a launch event on April 24th, at the ING Cafe, 600 6th Ave SW, Calgary AB. The artists, along with the ConnecTeen (superhero) volunteers that helped to create this comic will be there at the event.
You can find an online version of the comic here. Take a look — it’s amazing!
