Canopy has one mission: that the distance between a student and help is never the reason they go without it.
Distance is made of steps: the eighth link, the second form, the number that rings to a menu. Every step is a place where someone gives up.
So we count the steps, and we delete them.
I am an architecture student in Montreal. I watched friends bounce off eighty-link wellness pages because finding help asked for perfect keywords at the worst moment. Canopy is what should have existed: a simple way to real campus and community resources, private on the device, clear when it is unsure.
Built, funded, and cared for by one person since January 2026. It does not diagnose, and it does not replace someone who can listen.
Canopy will never
Canopy is independent today. We want to structure it as a nonprofit. That path is underway, not finished yet.
Until then, the same rules hold: health professionals and students guide the hard calls, and nothing is published without a person reviewing it.
