Kids Helpline is an Australian charity and government funded counselling service for children, designed to provide kids with free online and telephone counselling services with no strings attached. In 2018, the Kids Helpline annual report noted that the numbers of boys using Kids Helpline had fallen dramatically from 33% of all contacts in 2007 to 21% of contacts in 2017-18. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/young-boys-are-calling-the-kids-helpline-far-less-often-than-young-girls

This trend continued in the 2019 Kids Helpline annual report, and was noted as an area of concern in "finge media", but largely ignored by the group that runs Kids Helpline (Yourtown) and the mainstream media.

The latest 2020 Kids Helpline annual report again notes that couselling service contacts are 75.9% female and only 21.6% male, but ignores the massive gender bias in service provision. https://www.yourtown.com.au/insights/annual-overviews

It really is amazing that a service that works in an area where the mental health of boys is known to be an area of public need with very few effective services, and where boys engagement with services is a known to be very poor, have their eyes closed and appear indifferent to the needs of the boys they are paid to provide services for. An unbiased observer might look at these reports and ask, "what are you doing to invstigate why boys are not using your services?" ................ Well Yourtown?
