Teens between the ages of 13-20 can receive help with drug/alcohol abuse, thoughts of suicide, and many other teen problems by calling Teen Link at 1-866-TEENLINK (833-6546) between 6pm to 10pm. Teen Link volunteers are trained teenagers who are taught to listen to concerns and can provide referral services.

The assumption of Teen Link is that teens will accept help from someone of their own age better than from an adult. Callers can remain anonymous, calls are confidential and volunteers provide non-judgmental help.
