For over 30 years, Kids Helpline has been a crucial lifeline for those who need it most

Kids Helpline is Australia’s only free and confidential 24/7 online and phone counselling service for children and young people aged 5 to 25.

And with 70% of Kids Helpline sessions occurring outside of normal business hours, your support means professional counsellors can continue to respond to children and young people at any time of the day or night.

Kids Helpline is a safety net for those under 25, ensuring no child slips through the cracks. In 2023, there were 3,893 crisis/safety interventions where Kids Helpline counsellors reached out to services like ambulance, police, or child protection, in response to an urgent event for a young person.

"When my mental health was spiralling, I didn't want my mum to worry about me. I kept this all to myself, even when I was cutting and having dark thoughts. Talking to Kids Helpline was what helped me feel better." - Billie*

Your ticket helps those experiencing domestic and family and violence

From our domestic and family violence refuge to our San Miguel family residential service, your ticket ensures we're able to protect children and help families at high or imminent risk of harm.

Thanks to the community's support, in the 2022/23 financial year, yourtown was able to support over 1,700 individuals through our domestic and family violence, young parenting, and family mental health programs.

Being given time, support, and hope can make all the difference in gaining the courage and confidence to regain control of their lives.

"Without our services, and the systems and networks across yourtown, people would lose their lives."

- Karen Edwards, Manager of yourtown's Domestic and Family Violence Services
"I am stronger than before and no longer afraid. Thank you to all the staff in the refuge for helping me feel safe again." - Talia*

Around 90% of families who come through yourtown's domestic violence support service are able to leave their abusive relationships permanently.

Powering employment programs and services that help young people thrive

Long-term unemployment can have an enduring, detrimental impact on young lives.

Our employment services employ young people, teaching them to be work-ready and transition to sustainable employment.

Thanks to you, you're helping young people break the cycle of unemployment.

"I've never worked around a lot of people; I wasn't really talking to many people. Doing this program really built me up. It has been really good for me." - Ihaia* participated in one of our employment and training programs. *Image changed to protect privacy
