Whether kids are simply having trouble with their homework or they’re suffering from something a little more serious, there is a team of adults who are ready to help at a moment’s notice.

The Kids Help Phone is a nationwide hotline service that offers free counseling, support, guidance, and response to Canadian youth. Teens and children who need help can either text, call, or instant message the hotline for immediate assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For almost 30 years, kids have been using the hotline service for advice on things like how to deal with a breakup; LGBTQ issues; coping with toxic friendships; failing grades; dealing with grief; feeling depressed; body image issues; and even child abuse.

Unless the young caller is in immediate danger of being harmed or harming someone else, the hotline can also be used anonymously. However, the adult responders have an online database at the ready with more than 30,000 resources on how to deal with various support issues.
