At Kids Help Phone, we have been working with youth across Canada for more than 30 years; what they share with us has always been and will always be confidential and / or anonymous. Their privacy, security and safety is our top priority. Any data we have is non-identifiable, aggregate, scrubbed and stored in Canada.
about Supporting youth in Canada
This week, we recognize Truth and Reconciliation Week, five days dedicated to engaging everyone in Canada in important conversations about First Nations, Métis and Inuit land claims and the traumatic legacies of residential schools on generations of Indigenous peoples across Canada.
about Recognizing Truth and Reconciliation Week
Kids Help Phone hears from young people every day who often feel they are the only ones going through their issue. They often feel alone in their concerns – big or small. A new, virtual, moderated and supported community created by youth, for youth is finally here.
