Help us reach them
For 35 years, Kids Helpline has been answering the calls of children and young people across Australia.
But before a young person can reach out, they have to know we’re here.
That’s where you come in.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, librarian, grandparent... the friendly adult next door - we all play a powerful role in spreading the word about Kids Helpline.
Here's three ways you can help!
You don’t need a megaphone or a social media following. Sometimes it’s as simple as starting a conversation, sharing Kids Helpline’s website, or sticking up a poster where young people will see it.
Tell kids and teens in your life about us
Many young people contact Kids Helpline for help because an adult in their life told them about it. We've created a handy conversation starters guide to help you talk about help-seeking in an age appropriate way with kids and teens.
Promote us to your community
Put up a poster where young people will see them, add a banner to your website or email, or use a Kids Helpline background in your video calls. There's lots of simple ways to let others know about us! Check out our toolkit for ideas and resources.
Promote us in your class or school
There's lots of ways for teachers/educators to let students know about Kids Helpline! Run a free counsellor-led lesson, watch some videos, or handout some resources specially designed for primary and high school students.
Four reasons to help us reach them
Free counselling
We’re Australia’s ONLY free phone and web counselling service for five- to-25-year-olds Australia-wide.
24/7 support
We're open 24/7. Kids/teens can talk to us any time they need support – even at 2am on Christmas Day!
Any reason
Kids/teens can talk about anything. Mental health, suicidal thoughts, and family violence are some of the top reasons young people reach out for help.
Professional counsellors
Our counsellors are all tertiary qualified mental health professionals, so you know they’re getting the best support.
Motivated to do even more?
Kids Helpline is free for young people, always. But it’s a costly service to run.
Nearly half of Kids Helpline’s funding comes from the community. We can’t do this without you!
Donating or fundraising helps us support even more young people. In fact, 100% of your donation will go towards helping us answer more calls. Even small amounts add up to make a big difference!
There's lots of other ways you, your workplace, business, or community can make a difference, such as corporate partnerships, workplace giving, bequests, and more.
Thanks for your support!
