We offer support without obstacles and help with any hardship. Because no challenge is too big, and no feeling is too small.

We hope to deepen our influence as a leading advocate of radical landscape change for youth mental health. Informed by real-time data and insights, and fuelled by our ever-growing community of supporters, KHP will not waver in our commitment to build and transform access to more equitable mental health services from coast to coast to coast.

Kids Help Phone is about to make history. Again! In 1989, we were the first to convert data and technology into unparalleled e-mental health support. Tonight, we take the stage at Elevate Festival to reveal our next level game-changer to Canada and the world: The KHP Innovation and Applied Research Accelerator for Youth Mental Health (acceleratorKHP). Why? Because the #mentalhealth crisis in this country is growing. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth in Canada. And kids and technology are changing faster than ever. We’re asking the brightest minds in tech, entrepreneurs, researchers, young people and more to use disruptive technologies, AI, ML, data and research to co-create unprecedented well-being innovations for youth across Canada, empowering them to thrive in their worlds. acceleratorKHP is the catalyst for change, and we need YOU to finish the equation! To join the movement and help transform Canada’s e-mental health landscape for generations, visit https://acceleratorkhp.ca. #Innovation #acceleratorKHP #FeelOutLoud #Youth #ElevateFest2024

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on Canada’s tragic history with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, including the legacy of residential schools. Wearing orange shirts today symbolizes our commitment to learning and engaging in reconciliation. Colonization is an ongoing issue, evident in inequitable access to services and underrepresentation of Indigenous communities. Let’s unlearn, reflect, and take action together. #TruthAndReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay

🚀 At this year’s eMHIC conference in Ottawa, our CEO Katherine (Kathy) Hay ICD.D shared how Kids Help Phone has been innovating - for 35 years - to advance youth mental health for all young people in Canada. We’ve grown services from 1.9M interactions in 2019 to over 20M since 2020. That’s innovation at scale, and it’s why we call ourselves a 35-year-old start-up! 💡 By using AI and machine learning for good, we’re building personalized, scalable solutions to support youth and their mental health. We're enabling young people to feel out loud in every corner of Canada — and we’re just getting started! 🌎💙 #MentalHealth #eMHIC2024 #Innovation #Youth #Leadership

Thank you to The Hunter Family Foundation for a game-changing investment to help transform e-mental health services in Alberta and across Canada. This gift will help drive the launch of Kids Help Phone’s Alberta Youth Mental Health Services Mapping Project — a three-year endeavour aimed at identifying and addressing resource gaps so young people can have more equitable access to support.
