Did you know?
Every year, thousands of young people in Australia reach out for help, and many are in crisis, with nowhere else to turn. Don’t let any child in crisis go unheard.
Josh, 15, reached out to Kids Helpline late one night after weeks of pretending he was okay. One conversation helped him realise he didn't have to carry it all alone.
