Youthline provides a free, confidential and non judgmental telephone counselling service.  We are here to listen to you and help you with your problems. We have people who answer phones all over New Zealand, usually someone from your area. We don’t solve your problems but we do support you to help clarify what is happening and what you may want to do.

You do not have to be in a crisis situation to ring. People call for all sorts of reasons; because they feel alone, or because they lost someone they care for, others because they are having difficulties making their relationships work. Often people call just to have a chat and touch base.

Whatever your reasons, Youthliners’ are there to listen and care about you.

At Youthline we are trained to listen, not to impose our own views and solutions. Our objective is to help guide you towards exercising your own choice and finding answers to your own issues.

The Help Line, as well as txt and e-mail services are run from Youthline centres across the country.
