Young people reach out to Kids Helpline for many reasons. From everyday worries to serious challenges like family violence or suicidal thoughts, Kids Helpline remains the only free 24/7 phone and web counselling service for those aged five to 25.
"I was so scared of what everyone would think. Kids Helpline helped."
- Harry*, 14
Your tax-deductible donation before 30 June helps young people like Harry know where to turn, so they never feel like they have to choose silence.
Thankfully, Harry chose to reach out to Kids Helpline that night - and everything changed - but even after 35 years, too many young people don't know help is there.
With your support, we can ensure no call from a child or young person in crisis goes unheard.
