Donate Today to Kids Help Phone

The Provincial Executive has continued to support Kids Help Phone as the OSSTF/FEESO designated charity for 2025-2026. Kids Help Phone and its parallel service Good2Talk continue to fill an important niche in advocating for and giving assistance to our students and their families.

For over thirty-five years, Kids Help Phone has greatly expanded its outreach as a bilingual national organization serving children and teens in need of counselling, advice and intervention. Kids Help Phone has provided direct phone and online support to millions of requests for help from young people, including those living in rural and remote communities across Canada where supports are not readily available. The Kids Help Phone website also provides access to resources on a wide variety of issues including sexuality, harassment and bullying, drugs and alcohol, dating, and family relationships. Youth awareness materials are provided free of charge to schools to build awareness of Kids Help Phone services and how to access them.

Kids Help Phone is also one of four organizations working together in partnership to provide Good2Talk, a free, confidential, and anonymous helpline providing professional counselling and information and referrals for mental health, addictions, and well-being to post-secondary students aged 17-25 in Ontario, 24/7/365.

As a designated charity of OSSTF/FEESO, Kids Help Phone will receive a donation of $16,444 to help sustain their work, with an additional $4,111 provided to Good2Talk. The Provincial Executive also requests that Districts, Bargaining Units, and members consider local support through direct donations and/or by participation in fundraising activities. Supporting Kids Help Phone and Good2Talk is more important than ever as demand for their services have increased significantly.
