Kids Help Phone support for students

Mental health support

With Kids Help Phone’s web resources, young people can get information about how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and what they can do to care for their well-being.

Crisis support

If young people need help right now, they can text a trained, volunteer crisis responder at Kids Help Phone about anything they’re going through. No issue is too big or too small.

Professional counselling

Young people can work with a professional counsellor at Kids Help Phone over the phone or through online chat to better understand what they’re going through.

For children and youth, the Kids Help Phone can be reached at 1-800-668-6868 (toll-free) or text CONNECT to 686868. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to children and youth who want confidential and anonymous care from trained responders in both English and French. Visit the Kids Help Phone website for online chat support or to access online resources.
