Need help? Get in touch with YouthLine.

Youth are available to help daily from 4-10pm Pacific Time

(adults are available by phone at all other times!)

YouthLine is a free peer-to-peer help, support, and crisis line for youth up to age 24. No problem is too big or too small for YouthLine – reach out today!

YouthLine is confidential to a point: while we will never share conversations had on the lines, we are mandatory reporters. If a young person is experiencing or has experienced abuse, neglect, or assault, or if there are immediate safety concerns, YouthLine may contact other agencies to ensure the best support and safety for the young person in crisis.

YouthLine calls, texts, chats, and email responses are provided in English. Translation is available for phone calls through a live interpreter. They help find available resources in languages other than English when requested.

YouthLine is always looking for youth who live in Hawai’i on the island of Maui to volunteer or intern with their program!

Why should you volunteer? Maybe you’ve been there before. Maybe you know what it’s like to struggle with mental health, to feel alone, or to be broken up with. Maybe you really want to help others. Maybe it is all of the above! By volunteering with YouthLine, you will give help and hope to peers going through a hard time.

With all the training, mentorship, and clinical supervision you get, you will feel well supported in helping your peers.

For more information, review this Volunteer page, text ‘YLVol’ to 85511, or email YouthLine at YLVolunteering@linesforlife.org!
