Kids Help Phone knows that 2021 has been especially difficult for young people across Canada. We hear from you each and every day about the struggles you face and the challenges you deal with. We also hear from you as you draw on your inner strength, courage and resilience while the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, racism and discrimination, climate change and more. Here, you can check out inspiring messages from people in Canada and around the world as a reminder you’re not alone!
Our professional counsellors and volunteer crisis responders are here to talk about any issue on your mind. Everyone experiences feelings like sadness, anger, stress, disappointment, etc., and we’re here to help when those emotions come up. We’re also available to listen to you about the things going well in your life, and to help you tap into your personal sources of motivation and hope. And sometimes, learning about other people’s experiences and tips can help us all find more light and encouragement along our wellness journey.
