Kids Help Phone is Canada’s only phone and on-line counselling service for youth. It’s free, anonymous and confidential.  Professional counsellors are available any time of the day or night, 365 days a year, to help young people deal with concerns large or small.  As a national community-based charity, Kids Help Phone relies on individual and corporate donations to fund these vital services.

We are a non-profit group made up of volunteers but operate as a team of individuals.  Our goals are to create public awareness regarding barrier free access in the Kennebecasis Valley and at the moment we are working very hard on affordable housing and transportation for the disabled in the area.
