TORONTO (ON), June 16, 2025 <\/strong>\u2013 Today, <\/strong>Kids Help Phone<\/a> <\/strong>announces the next evolution of Canada\u2019s largest youth mental health movement. Powered by new insights from more than 50 million real-time, real-language, geographically tagged data points and grounded in over three decades of trust, this next chapter invites people across Canada, especially adults, to rally behind young people by donating and amplifying the need for accessible, inclusive mental health support.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of this movement is one powerful truth: seventy-five per cent of service users tell KHP something they\u2019ve never told anyone before. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next chapter of Feel Out Loud challenges the idea that <\/em>Kids Help Phone is only for \u2018serious problems\u2019. For many young people, the word \u2018help\u2019 can feel overwhelming, intimidating, or even out of reach, especially when they\u2019re struggling to make sense of everything happening around them,\u201d says Katherine Hay, President & Co-CEO, Retired Designate, Kids Help Phone. \u201cThe evolving Feel Out Loud movement reflects the complex reality youth are facing today\u2014eco-anxiety, economic stress, bullying, relationships, and more. It redefines what help means by capturing the full spectrum of emotions young people experience, including the ones that feel awkward, confusing, or difficult to express. It\u2019s built on what youth have told us help looks like to them, and why it matters.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harnessing powerful new insights from KHP\u2019s anonymized data, the Feel Out Loud movement brings youth voices to the forefront, proving that for many young people, help means everything. Since 2020, KHP has interacted with young people across Canada more than 22 million times. The demand continues to rise, especially among equity-deserving youth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

KHP understands that a young person\u2019s world is shaped by their unique identity, their family and community, their digital universe and wherever they live in Canada. The next chapter of Feel Out Loud is powered by KHP\u2019s unmatched data and guided by the real experiences of youth. The data reveals a deeply urgent need for more responsive, inclusive support: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
