Some ground rules for Teen Link Chat:

  • Teen Link Chat does not work well on smart phones, so try to use a computer.
  • Stay focused on the chat and try to limit multi-tasking (like chatting with friends, going on social media, doing homework, etc.).
  • If you need to step away from the computer, please let us know and consider ending the chat and coming back later.

Teen Link chat is a safe,  nonjudgmental, peer-to-peer support system for youth. It is handled in the exact same way as our phone line, but is text-based and online. We handle all chats with the same protocols and policies as our phone line, and it is just as confidential and anonymous as the help line.
