Kids' Health Links Foundation (KHLF) is a grassroots non-profit registered charity; was incorporated in 2004. We are recognized nationally for our four (4) Programs. These are outlined with website links provided below. We launched our first program, UPOPOLIS in December 2007; (our UKNOW is embedded in UPOPOLIS); UMIND and UPEDIA were released in 2014.
KHLF was co-founded by Basile Papaevangelou and his daughter Christina. It was inspired by Christina’s near death as a result of a massive blood infection known as Toxic Shock Syndrome in 2002, and by the passing of her good friend Katy in 2004 from cancer.

The following charter statement from the World Health organization (WHO) best captures the challenge faced by children around the world and the opportunity for our Foundation’s work:
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Through the power of innovation, knowledge and communication; Our purpose and programs help to improve the mental health and preparedness of  youth and teens, 1chronically ill hospitalized or at home, grieving the death of a loved one or suffering from mental health challenges.
KHLF programs reach out directly to youth and teens  (www.UPOPOLIS.com) and to front line child life specialists dedicated to helping them deal with their hospital experiences (www.UPEDIA.ca) and to child and youth mental health professionals ( www.umind.ca)in helping them deal with their illness and the stigma associated with their conditions
