About us
This LinkedIn page is managed by Kids Help Phone's Marketing team and is not monitored 24/7. If you’re a young person in need of support you can text 686868, call 1-800-668-6868 or visit KidsHelpPhone.ca. Kids Help Phone (KHP) is Canada’s only free, 24/7, bilingual e-mental health support service for young people. For over 33 years, we’ve unlocked hope for youth to explore their identity and navigate life in an increasingly complex world. Young people can connect with KHP from every corner of the country via our professional counselling service, our website of 300+ mental health resources, our text-based crisis support, our Peer-to-Peer support forums and more, in addition to accessing our youth programs offered within communities across Canada. We offer support without obstacles and help with any hardship. Because no challenge is too big, and no feeling is too small. With our unique experience in connecting directly with youth, we have the responsibility to play a major role in assisting policy makers in their search for insights and answers about youth mental health and well-being. We hope to deepen our influence as a leading advocate of radical landscape change for youth mental health. Informed by real-time data and insights, and fuelled by our ever-growing community of supporters, KHP will not waver in our commitment to build and transform access to more equitable mental health services from coast to coast to coast. KHP is a registered Canadian charity, and we gratefully rely on the generosity of donors, educators, volunteers, partners, governments and more to power our programs and services. Our generous donors help to ensure that someone is always there to help give young people’s feelings a place to go.
