Kids Help Phone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kids Help Phone (Jeunesse, J’écoute in French) is Canada’s only toll-free, bilingual, 24/7, confidential and anonymous phone and online counselling and information service for children and youth.
Since 1989, children and youth have trusted Kids Help Phone’s professional counsellors with their questions, problems and concerns. And because the counsellors spend all day, every day, on the phone or online with kids and teens, they’re very knowledgeable about the issues that are important to youth. Whatever the problem – from school or family problems, to depression and abuse – kids can talk to Kids Help Phone. In 2008, Kids Help Phone counsellors connected with kids in almost 3,000 Canadian communities more than 2.2. million times.
Kids Help Phone is a Canadian charity which receives no ongoing government or public social service agency support, and instead raises each dollar through the efforts of its volunteers and fund development staff.
