The Distance and Anonymity of Fil Santé Jeunes: A Supportive Environment for Discussing Personal Matters [Interview].

Fil Santé Jeunes’s telephone and online services are available to young people aged 12 to 25. Thirty professionals—including psychologists, doctors, and marriage and family counselors—are there to listen, provide information, and offer guidance. Main reasons for calls and inquiries: sexuality; physical changes during adolescence; contraception; psychological difficulties, ranging from general distress to suicidal crises. 23,000 consultations were conducted in 2017. Counselors note a growing number of young women reporting sexual violence.
