Talk on your terms.
If you need support, we’re here for you. If you’re worried about someone overhearing you, or it’s too hard to say out loud, you can write it down in chat, email or text.
Have you used our service recently? Tell us how we did by filling out a survey
We know there are some things you can’t talk to an adult about and there’s probably a lot of things your friends don’t get about you. We can connect you with a peer who understands your unique situation and can help talk you though your issues. We don’t judge. We are here to listen. Our service is confidential so no one needs to know you contacted us.
If you ever have a question, a problem or just need to talk, we’re here for you, 24 hours a day. Peer support is available from 3-10pm on weekdays and 12-10pm on weekends.
Outside of peer support hours, adult volunteers respond to contacts.
