Where you live, or the colour of your skin, can dictate the difference between accessing support and living in silent struggle. There is no equity in health care, but there is at Kids Help Phone — where hope is always online: for all youth, from all places.
Unlocking hope for youth to thrive
And when the COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down, Kids Help Phone scaled up — serving millions more than ever before. As Canada’s only national, 24/7, free and bilingual e-mental health service for young people, Kids Help Phone is the go-to space for all youth to express their fear, worry, anger, confusion and despair.
To let it all out.
To feel out loud – Support without obstacles – Help with any hardship – No challenge too big – No feeling too small.
Together, we can unlock the hope young people need to thrive in their world.
Kids Help Phone is leading the largest movement for youth mental health in Canada’s history. By raising $300 million, we will support young people across Canada over 30 million times.
