Across Europe, millions of children and young people face challenges such as mental health concerns, violence, bullying, and digital risks. Child helplines provide a trusted, accessible and confidential space where children can seek support, share their experiences and access help.

Voices Together Europe is a three-year initiative led by Child Helpline International, co-funded by the European Union through the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme. It aims to strengthen child helplines across the European Union and ensure that children’s voices are heard in policies and practices that affect their lives.

The project focuses on strengthening the capacity, accessibility and quality of child helpline services, while also ensuring that the insights gathered through helpline contacts inform decision-making at national and European levels. It will also contribute directly to strengthening of services provided through 116 111 – the European harmonized number for child helplines – and other national child helplines.
