Kids Help Phone / Jeunesse, J’écoute

Kids Help Phone’s mission is to always be open, providing a safe, trusted place for young people in any moment of crisis or need.

Since 1989, we have been committed to serving every young person who reaches out to us for help without judgement. We are Canada’s only 24/7, national mental health service for young people, offering bilingual professional counselling, clinically-based tools, resource referrals and crisis support services. Driven by technology and innovation, Kids Help Phone has the reach, impact and access to meet young people where they are and the ability to scale, innovate and adapt to their needs.

We are Canada’s leading experts in youth mental health and e-mental health solutions. We know the problems facing youth in Canada — and provide solutions that save lives and impact communities.

Every day, we hear from young people in their moment of need. One young person who reached out over text shared, “Hi. I feel like you saved my life tonight. Thank you. You’re doing an amazing thing and I know you don’t know me but you really helped me feel stronger and better about myself. You’re kind of a hero. I felt like I could breathe again after talking to you.”
