Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only 24/7 e-mental health service offering free, confidential support to young people in English and French.
The challenges facing young people in Canada have grown more complex, and youth need access to the supports that are most relevant to them. To achieve our vision, it’s critical that we meet these challenges — and quickly.
Our History
Kids Help Phone has a pioneering history of creating innovative supports for critical issues young people face. We began in 1989 as a unique telephone counselling service, launched to provide free, accessible support to any young person reaching out from coast to coast to coast.
Our focus was supporting young people experiencing abuse, but almost immediately, young people let us know they needed more from the service than one focus and one way to reach us.
For over 30 years, we’ve evolved our response and offerings. We concentrate on staying relevant to youth, recognizing the complexity of issues they face, and we help to ensure our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders are ready to address young people’s continuum of emotional and mental health needs, from crisis situations to the everyday concerns of growing up.
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.”
