Summary

Every month thousands of children reach out to Childline Thailand for emergency assistance. Our Call Centre is online 24/7 and we receive calls and messages from vulnerable children asking for help every 15 minutes. Childline provides all of its services for free, including professional counselling. links to emergency services, case management, and legal assistance to children and youths under 18 years of age.

Challenge
Childline staff assists children and families in multiple ways daily - problems range from loneliness and family misunderstandings to severe abuse cases. "Child abuse is more than broken bones and bruises. It leaves deep emotional scars which, if remain untreated, will haunt the child for the rest of his or her adult life"

Solution
Childline Thailand works hand-in-hand with children and families. Following well established trust, children and families can seek various options with Childline's guidelines and assistance towards solutions. For many children, the 21st century hub of information remains a labyrinth which they have no means of venturing in by themselves. Childline Thailand has 8 permanent telephone staff who are undergraduates majoring in Clinical Psychology and Sociology.

Long-Term Impact
Childline have supported over 1.2 million children in the last ten years. Our impact is an improved society with safer, happier, and more engaged youths. We will continue to provide children in Thailand with trusted and reliable access to protection, health, and human services, as is their right, and which the Thai Government adheres to through its ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child.
