At keep6ix, we understand that men of all nations while incarcerated not only carry out their sentence and bare that burden, they also bare the burden of what their incarceration is doing to their loved ones in the outside world. Many of these men have their immediate family such as their mother, sister, brother or father supporting them financially, emotionally and mentally.  Some may also have external support through a close friend or spouse who aids in taking on that responsibility of financially, emotionally and physiologically taking care of their needs.  

Nonetheless this leaves both the supporting people and the young person incarcerated sharing a great deal of pressure and stress as they deal with the sentence on a day to day basis.  As an organization at keep6ix   we've embraced this portion, and implemented a support system that allows the families directly impacted to have a safe environment to not only express the pressures faced but also to have an outlet where tools and resources are provided for the healthy transition and coping mechanisms for the support of these men.

We are attempting to refine the negative beliefs and perspectives of the at risk youth individuals and channel them into a more positive outlook. Our compassionate and experienced team provides assistance, counselling and stability to at risk youth who are suffering through anxiety and a sense of feeling hopeless and dejected. We also assist those who want to continue working and attending to their daily lives but need a certain amount of support to keep them motivated and on track. We try to change the dire persuasions they have may have learned from people they consider their peers and try to give them a basic knowledge between what is right and what is wrong. 

At Keep6ix we are sowing seeds of hope in the community by providing different kinds of opportunities to local youth and families. We serve the needs of those who desire therapy and a will to keep going on. Nonetheless, Keep6ix helps provide management for individuals who struggle to gain self-sufficiency.

Our aim is to assist in: 
1. Giving you the professional help they need 
2. Connecting with others Staying positive 
3. Getting mentally and physically active 
4. Developing coping mechanisms 
5. Realizing their full potential 
6. Acknowledging the underlying issues 
7. Working efficiently 
8. Helping them to make meaningful contributions to their community 
9. Helping them to help others 

We highly stress the importance of wellness and promotion of the empowerment of lives. Because, obviously, black lives matter. Who in the world would dare to think otherwise?


On July 28, 2018 Keep6ix will be hosting a workshop for At Risk Youth.

‘The Keys to Personal Empowerment’

There will be a panel of speakers including a prominent Defence Lawyer, a Toronto Police Officer, a member of Corrections Canada, a Psychologist, Zya Brown from Think2wice and Richard Miller from Keep6ix.

There will also be music, refreshments and giveaways.

We believe this will be a very informative and educational session for At Risk Youth and their families.

All of this comes at a cost to Keep6ix of course and we need your generous donations in order to help fund this and many other upcoming events that we are organizing to help guide these young people in the right direction.    There is no financial donation too small.    Make a difference in a young person and their families lives and help us in our work.
