Kids Help Phone reports a worrying increase in new nighttime texting conversations in the first 6 months of this year.
When Anjana Sudharshan was in high school, winding down for bed at midnight, a friend texted her in crisis.
She wasn’t sure what to do, so she texted the mental health hotline Kids Help Phone and exchanged messages with a crisis responder who advised her how to guide her approach to support her friend.
The warning comes as the national young people's mental health phone line launches a campaign aimed at early intervention.
