Kids helpline T he Minns access to essential mental health support for young people through a $17.1 million investment in Kids Helpline, providing greater access to free counselling services for Central Coast children and young people facing emotional distress or mental health challenges. Member for Gosford, Labor Government is improving

Liesl Tesch, says that the investment will ensure that children and young people can continue to reach out and receive timely and accessible care. “This boost in funding will mean that Central Coast children and young people can have a place where they can express their feelings and feel listened to, whilst receiving age appropriate counselling and support. “This funding will also offer development opportunities for existing Kids Helpline staff, investing in a workforce that provides invaluable support to Central Coast young people.” The funding will also upskill counsellors with additional practical skills to help them provide better support and strengthen the integration of Kids Helpline with local, area and state-wide services across mental health, child protection, education, employment, and other social systems. Kids Helpline Manager, Tony Fitzgerald, says “The contribution will advance our work with up to 28 additional Kids Helpline counsellors being onboarded over the next four years to take meaningful action to improve support to children and young people. “We know that increasing counselling resources reduces the risk of suicide and will provide ongoing stability for the dedicated professional counsellor workforce who respond to calls, web chat conversations and email from young people.” Ms Tesch says that the funding will ensure Central Coast children and young people have greater access to free counselling services. Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) operates 24/7 and provides age-appropriate online and phone counselling support for young people aged 5 to 25.
