Introducing Buddy's Quest

Buddy’s Quest is a culturally grounded game and wellness platform designed with and for Indigenous children and youth. It feels like a game not homework because meaningful engagement begins by meeting young people where they already are.

Youth can play, reflect and explore sensitive topics without creating a personal account. The platform uses community-issued access codes rather than names, email addresses or phone numbers, allowing partners to understand population-level patterns while protecting individual anonymity.
Communities may enable an optional anonymous chat pathway that connects youth with trained Indigenous Peer Advocates. This creates a gentle first step for a child who may not yet be ready to speak directly with an adult they know.
Buddy’s Quest was developed through collaboration with Indigenous youth, Chiefs and Councils, Elders, child advocates, educators, Jordan’s Principle experts, psychologists, psychiatrists and child-protection professionals.
Qualified partners receive anonymous, population-level insight that can support program design, funding, prevention and earlier community response. Buddy’s Quest does not replace professional assessment, counselling or emergency care.
