Key Insights from 2023 European Child Helpline Data on Mental Health and Violence.
This report brings together data from 2023 from 36 child helplines across Europe, highlighting the essential role they play in supporting children and young people through some of their most challenging experiences.
The findings of this report reveal an urgent need for more robust support systems to address mental health and violence – two key child rights priorities in Europe, as well as across the international child rights community. Mental health issues are some of the most common reasons for reaching out, while violence, particularly bullying and emotional abuse, remains a major concern. Struggles with family and peer relationships further impact young people’s wellbeing. This report spotlights these three main reasons for contacting child helplines in Europe.
