PHONE A COUNSELLOR:

The fastest way to get help is to call 1-800-668-6868.

Kids Help Phone's telephone counselling is:

• anonymous (we don't have call display)
• confidential
• available from anywhere in Canada

• toll-free
• immediate (open 24/7)
• staffed by professional counsellors

This service was developed for you! Some kids worry that their problem isn't serious enough or they aren't sure what to say when they call. Our professional counsellors understand how difficult it can be to talk about something that is bothering you. We understand the things that are bugging you. And we are available day or night.

Still not sure? We know it helps to understand what you’re getting into before you pick up the phone. Check out:

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU CALL:

1. When you dial the number (1-800-668-6868) you'll hear a recorded message that goes like this:
   " Hi! Welcome to Kids Help Phone. For service in English press 1. For service in French press 2."
   After you choose a language, you'll hear a longer message that talks about things like why kids call and how we help.
   Why do we ask kids to hang up if they're pranking?
   We want this service to be available for every person when he or she needs it and pranks can prevent kids from getting through.
2. When you get through to a counsellor, he or she will want to understand what your situation or problem is, so they'll probably ask you some questions. You don't need to say your name, and you don't have to share anything that you aren't ready to talk about. The more the counsellor understands about your situation the more helpful the conversation will be.
3. You'll be encouraged to begin by telling your story. Past experiences help us learn, but what has happened in the past we can't change - we can change the future. This will be the focus of the conversation between you and the counsellor - what small changes can be made now?
4. The counsellor will help you define your problem, think about what's important and help you figure out what to do next. The counsellor will also make sure you've got accurate information and may encourage you to consider different strategies or points of view.

WHAT IS COUNSELLING?

Counselling is really just a conversation between two people.
At Kids Help Phone, we believe:

• the problem is the problem - not the person
• people have the strength and resources to make necessary changes in their lives
• that sometimes we need a little help to tap into our strengths
• the counsellor's job is to help people make sense of their experiences and open up possibilities for positive change

Sometimes, people who use Kids Help Phone think that a counsellor will tell them what to do. Counsellors are trained to know about a wide range of concerns and experiences, but every individual is unique and therefore must make their own decisions.
Counsellors help young people:

• define the problem
• think about what's important
• figure out what to do next
• express their feelings and needs
• tap into their own strengths and resources
• examine unhelpful habits, coping methods, self-defeating beliefs, values and attitudes
• gather all the relevant facts
• consider different points of view
• understand how their behaviour and emotional reactions affect those around them and vice-versa
• work out how the caller and others can help
• begin to make decisions based on what you've learned

WHAT DOES ANONYMOUS AND CONFIDENTIAL MEANS??

Anonymous means that Kids Help Phone:

• does not trace calls
• does not have call display
• does not track IP addresses

IMPORTANT! 

Confidential means that Kids Help Phone will not provide any information that you shared during a conversation with a counsellor to anyone outside of Kids Help Phone except when the following TWO things happen together:

1.
if you tell the counsellor that someone has harmed you in the past, is harming you in some way now, or that they will probably harm you in the near future,

AND

2.
you give the counsellor identifying information (like your name, address or phone number), the counsellor is obligated by law to inform the police and/or child protection authorities.

If you are ready to speak with a counsellor, call 1-800-668-6868
