"I was struggling with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm—then I found Kids Helpline. Talking to Kids Helpline felt comfortable because I could get things off my chest that I usually wouldn't tell anyone. I still struggle, but each conversation with Kids Helpline makes me feel so much better. That's why they're my first choice when I need to talk to someone.
