Help means everything: Caring adults can share the message.

All young people deserve freedom to be who they are, express how they feel and get mental health support. The social media tool kit on this page is designed to help caring adults share the message that at Kids Help Phone (KHP), help means everything.

Since 1989, KHP has been Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering young people a free, multilingual and confidential space to get help and Feel Out Loud.

To remind young people in your networks that help means everything, and there’s always a place for their feelings to go at KHP, you can post a video, image or message on social media.

Share a personal video message

Self-filmed videos can be a meaningful and impactful way to remind your networks that help means everything (and encourage more people to join the Feel Out Loud movement!).

Below are a few tips to consider when sharing personal messages related to mental health and wellness:

• If you feel comfortable and safe doing so, you may consider sharing from your own mental health journey. It may help to remember to only share what you’d feel comfortable sharing with folks beyond your personal networks and leave out any personal details that may compromise your safety or the safety of others. 
• You can share what help would’ve meant to you as a young person and / or how important you feel it is for youth from coast to coast to coast to have access to help today at Kids Help Phone.

Opening message thought starters:  

• “To all the young people I know and the millions more across Canada…”   
• “As someone who cares deeply about youth and their mental health…”

Core message (you can use any examples you connect with):

• “Kids Help Phone is always open for all the feelings. However you identify, wherever you live, whoever you are, there’s a place for your feelings to go.”  
• “No matter how you feel inside, you’re not alone. You can connect with Kids Help Phone 24/7 for help and a space to let your feelings out.”   
• “When “fine” doesn’t mean fine, you can contact Kids Help Phone for help with all the feelings.”

Closing call-to-action

• “Your help means everything. Donate now at KidsHelpPhone.ca”   
• Use #HelpMeansEverything   
• Tag @KidsHelpPhone  

Additional filming tips

• You can use a phone or tablet to film (no professional equipment is necessary).   
• Try to film vertically and in a well-lit space so your face is visible (if you choose to be on screen).   
• Try to keep it short (under 60 seconds can increase the chances of your message going to more people).   
• Consider communicating directly to the camera (if you choose to be on screen). 

Thank you for joining the Feel Out Loud movement! With your support, KHP can answer when young people ask, “Can you help me feel better?”
