Recent data shows more young children are reaching out to Kids Helpline about bullying, but two-thirds aren't telling their parents because they don't want to add to family stress.

We explore what actually happens when a child calls for help, and how parents can create safe spaces for these crucial conversations without rushing to fix everything immediately.

If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 or Parent Line on 1300 1300 52.
