50% of survey complete.
Hi there!

Kids Help Phone is developing an online tool that will let you search everything from in-person counselling to sexual health testing in locations across Canada. Our goal is to help you find resources quickly and easily, any time you’re online.

The following survey will help us understand what kinds of services you might be interested in looking for, and how to set up our online tool so that it best meets your needs. Your answers will be completely anonymous and confidential.

Kids Help Phone depends on donations from people and businesses to build new tools like this one. When people read quotes from young people that use our service, it helps them to understand how important this type of tool is. We may share your comments with potential funders, and other partners like researchers and other social service agencies. If we use your comments in this way, we make sure any information that would identify you is taken out before we share it.

With your help, we hope to put together a searchable list of services that young people across Canada can really trust.
