Our guest speaker this week was Melissa Tar from the Kids Help line https://kidshelpphone.ca/what-is-kids-help-phone
Kids Help Phone is a national 24-hour, bilingual and anonymous phone counselling, web counselling and referral service for children and youth. It’s service is completely anonymous and confidential.
Melissa talked about the important support that her organization offers to children and youth throughout the Country. It started 28 years ago as a telephone help line. It now offers information through it’s website and counselling through both telephone counselling and counselling through a chat line. They will be moving to a text service soon to further expand the ways they can reach out to young people in crisis.
Melissa asked us all to talk to the young people in our lives to make sure that them, and their friends, are aware of the help that is available to them through the Help Line
