When things are tough
We’re here for you
If you’re hurting, we see you
Kids in middle school and high school teenagers are experiencing depression and anxiety at higher levels than ever before
- According to the World Health Organization, “one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder.”
- According to the American Psychological Association, “leading up to the pandemic, feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness—as well as suicidal thoughts and behaviors—increased by about 40% among young people.”
Kids and teens’ mental health is in crisis—and not everyone has a safe place they can turn to for help.
We’re here to change that. The AlterCareLine is a completely free virtual mental healthcare service that offers emotional support and counseling to everyone in our community. Our support specialists are trained extensively to work with youth ages 12-17. We believe every single person should have access to safe people and places, where you can come to talk about your problems and be yourself. All you have to do is call.
Whether you’re dealing with family conflicts, homelessness, isolation, problems with friends, bullying, school pressures, or mental health issues, we can help.
