Since 1989, Kids Help Phone has been Canada’s only national phone and online counselling service for youth. It is free, anonymous and confidential. Professional counsellors are available any time of the day or night, 365 days a year, to help young people deal with concerns large or small. As a community-based charity who receives no core government funding, Kids Help Phone relies strictly on individual and corporate donations to fund these vital services. Children and teens contact Kids Help Phone about every issue imaginable – from school, dating and family problems, to depression, abuse and suicide. For many children in rural areas, Kids Help Phone is the only way they can access professional counsellors in an atmosphere of safety and confidentiality. Many of the kids who contact us cannot or will not approach parents or teachers in their community for fear of reprisals and embarrassment.
