Youthline
Free support for young people in New Zealand by phone, text, email or webchat.
Youthline works with young people, their families and the people supporting them. Its counsellors and trained volunteers are used to conversations that start sideways rather than with the actual problem.
The text service is the most-used route, and it is free.

Is something here wrong?
A number that no longer works is the most serious thing that can go wrong on this site. If you have tried one of these and it did not connect, please tell us and we will check it the same day.
We are not affiliated with Youthline and we do not speak for them. This page describes their service as they publish it; their own site is always the authority.
