Youth line Changing Lives
Youthline works with people from all walks of life, from all cultures (we even take calls and TXTs direct from the Cook Islands!) and with all sorts of things going on in their lives. This can be anything from just wanting to talk something through (big or small, via TXT, email or phone), to working face to face with a young person or even their whole family.
Donate your Bartercard T$dollars to help Youthline and Change a Life
New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate in the developed world, twice that of Australia. Currently, 1 in 4 texts to Youthline deal with depression, self-harm and suicide. 1 in 10 texts relate specifically to suicide.
It costs over $600,000 to run our 24/7 Helpline. We managed 300,000 connections through our Helpline last year. Tragically, with the increased number of young people contacting us in crisis, 30-40% of young people do not reach us the first time they try.
Help us to be there to listen, a critical part of breaking the silence.
