We had the opportunity to welcome Selena Gomez to Our Third Place, our youth wellness center, and our Su***de Prevention Center to learn about our Training and Outreach, Crisis Line and Teen Line programs!

We’re so grateful she spent time connecting with our clients and staff about the impact of our services and understanding where support is needed most for young people. Her authenticity and genuine care made the visit so meaningful.

We’re a proud partner and grant recipient of the Rare Impact Fund. Thanks to Selena and the Rare Impact Fund’s continued investment, we’re able to provide more young people with the mental health care they deserve. We’re thankful to be doing this work together 💙

Empathy and connection are at the center of our Teen Line program 💜 For more than 40 years, Teen Line has created a safe space for teens to talk to someone their age who gets it.

We’re honored to welcome and train our newest cohort of Teen Listeners, providing hope and support to teens navigating tough moments.

Thank you TOMS for helping make it possible!

Together, we’re supporting the next generation of mental health advocates.

Thank you, NPR, for shining a light on the work we do at Teen Line. The story reflects what witness everyday at the hotline: young people showing up for each other in real and honest ways.

Teens today are navigating pressures unlike any generation before them, from AI and cyberbullying to social media. However, the need for real, human support has not changed. And every day, our incredible volunteers meet that need with compassion and presence.

We couldn’t be prouder of our Teen Listeners and the way they lead with such genuine care.
