It Takes Fifteen
There’s a lot going on in a young person’s life and sometimes it’s hard for them to talk to those closest to them. By donating to the ‘it takes 15’ campaign you will be supporting a young person to be able to reach out for support when they most need it. A $15 dollar donation gives 15 minutes and 15 minutes can change a person’s life.
Donate to Youthline
Your donation, no matter how small, helps us to support young people who really need our help with issues such as bullying, mental health or dealing with the many other pressures of everyday life.

NZ has the worst youth suicide rate in the developed world
Currently, 1 in 4 texts to Youthline deal with depression, self-harm and suicide. 1 in 10 texts relate specifically to suicide.
Last year Youthline worked with over 50, 000 individual young people and managed over 300, 000 contacts to our Hub. Of those, 11, 527 dealt with suicide and self-harm.
Tragically, 30-40% of young people who try to connect for the first time do not get service. You can help us change that.
Help us be there for young people when they need us most. We are here to listen, a critical part of breaking the silence.
An average connection can last from 15-60 minutes. $1 for 1 minute.
