Our supporters
With special thanks to the generosity of Kids Help Phone’s donors, young people across Canada have more access to the support they need whenever, wherever and however they need it most.
Since 1989, Kids Help Phone has been there to offer free, 24/7, confidential support to young people in Canada. Our donors help ensure that we’re keeping up with the growing demand for our e-mental health services and always innovating to increase access to life-saving support.
In 2020, Kids Help Phone saw a dramatic increase in service requests and had over 4.6 million interactions with young people (compared to 1.9 million in 2019). Thanks to our caring supporters, our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders were always there to remind young people that they’re never alone. And for that, we’re so grateful!
