Counselling for clients aged 15 to 18

If you are 15, 16, 17, or 18 years old, I'm glad you've come to our site! You can get involved in online counselling. But I need to let you know that, before we begin, you will need to get your parent or guardian to sign our consent form when you register.

You will also need your parent or guardian to authorize a credit card or your parent's credit card (unless your parent or guardian has an Employee Assistance Plan as a part of his or her employment benefits).

If you don't want your parent(s) to know that you are involved, I am sorry to say that we will not be able to offer you services. However, let me suggest that you try one of the following:

• Make an appointment to see your school counsellor.
• Find a face-to-face counsellor yourself. I can give you some tips on how to do this if you like.
• If you are in Canada, call the Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868.

I want to just mention that I admire your efforts to find the help you need. If you look elsewhere, I wish you all the best.
