Keystone is a Child, Youth and Family Services agency that offers free counseling and prevention services throughout Grey and Bruce counties, an area the size of Prince Edward Island. We are a non-mandated agency that rarely has funding enhancements. Dollars donated go directly to service enhancements that would not otherwise be available. In the past, we have used donations to purchase program supplies, respite, clothing, food etc. It is difficult to benefit from counselling if the necessities are not covered. Many of our youth require additional supports so that they too can enjoy what we take for granted. Your contribution will make a difference for those children, youth and families that we serve.

The liver is a resilient, maintenance-free organ that's easy to ignore - until something goes wrong. Because of its wide-ranging responsibilities, the liver often comes under attack by viruses, toxic substances (including alcohol), contaminants and disease. Even when it is under siege however, the liver is very slow to complain. Often, people with liver problems will be completely unaware because they may have few, if any, symptoms. The liver is such a stalwart organ that it will continue working even when two thirds of it has been damaged by scarring (cirrhosis). While there have been major advances in treating liver diseases, there are no cures. That's why it's important to take steps to prevent liver disease, such as making healthy lifestyle choices and getting immunized against viruses that can cause liver disease.
