Youth Line's mission is volunteers, who listen, hear and encourage others to talk. Our volunteers encourage young people to share their burdens and choose life. The most important values of the Youth Line are responsibility, equality and human connection. Youth Line provides free and anonymous emotional support 24/7 by phone and 3 pm-12 pm every day by online chat. Emotional support is frequently the case of suicide prevention.
