    About Kids Help Phone Insights

    Kids Help Phone Insights is a showcase of anonymous (meaning no personal / identifying details) and aggregated (meaning not individual) data from conversations we have with people across Canada.

    By sharing this data, we want to remind folks that they’re never alone, and that they can find hope, strength and community from coast to coast to coast. We also want to share our learnings from the frontlines of mental health and well-being in Canada while continuing to respect people’s privacy and our values.

    Although people’s strengths and struggles are more than a data point, we hope the information on this platform acts as a compass to help you find support, shape policies / programs and more.
