Young people from across New Brunswick are reaching out to Kids Help Phone every day for professional support and information.
There are more than 132,000 young people ages 5 to 20 in New Brunswick alone according to Stats Canada.
Director for the Kids Help Line in the Atlantic Region, Shelley Richardson tells us the organization is looking to establish a new volunteer committee in Moncton.
This committee will help to give a local flair to the “Walk So Kids Can Talk” event in Moncton, presented by BMO, and held in over 25 communities across Canada.
Calls from New Brunswick represent 2.6% of all calls to Kids Help Phone which means that approximately 15 kids from the province called the phone service each day in 2013.
