On May 2, 2010 a very special event is taking place at locations across Canada. The Walk For Kids Help Phone takes place annually in more than 50 communities across Canada. In 2009, more than 20,000 people participated and raised a total of over three million dollars for this cause.
Kids Help Phone hears from young people today dealing with challenges and experiences that previous generations could not imagine. And when issues are too difficult for kids to discuss with parents, teachers or peers, they may turn to Kids Help Phone. The range of issues kids talk about - from sexual and physical abuse, to suicide, mental health and anxiety, family issues, peer pressure, bullying and internet safety, is extensive. The need for Kids Help Phone counselors to continually deepen their understanding of critical issues facing young people is more important today than ever. And they do that.
Whether you are raising pledges, pledging walkers, volunteering or walking on May 2nd, by taking part in the Walk For Kids Help Phone, you are helping to ensure that for young people with worries like this, help we will be there for them - 24 hours a day - providing a safe, supportive and confidential place for them to share their concerns.
