0800 WHAT'S UP operates a confidential, counselling online chat service for children and young people between the ages of 5 - 19 years old. Our counsellors are available 365 days a year, and it’s free to connect. Children and young people can also get tips on dealing with the most commonly called about issues through the 'most talked about' sections of the kids and teens sections of our website.
You can chat online about whatever’s on your mind – no problem is too big or too small – and if you just want to have a chat and a laugh, we’re here to listen. If it’s someone else's problem, that’s cool – we can talk about that too. Whatever you want to say, you don’t need to worrry about being judged or getting into trouble.
0800 WHAT'S UP is also here to talk about any concerns around sexual harm.
