“I didn’t know who to turn to. I just needed someone to listen."
Katie* felt completely alone, carrying the weight of being bullied at school and online. She didn’t tell anyone, not even her parents, and the pain grew heavier every day.
Katie had even begun to harm herself just to cope. She felt alone and hopeless.
One night, Katie found the courage to call the Dolly’s Dream Bullying Support Line - and for the first time, someone truly listened.
Your donation today can make sure the next young person like Katie has the same support.
Every gift helps keep the Dolly's Dream Support Line open, providing immediate, life-changing support so no child has to face bullying alone.
Support When It Matters Most
Bullying can feel overwhelming, isolating, and relentless. Too many young people carry the weight of it alone, afraid to tell anyone, and sometimes resorting to self-harm just to cope.
The Dolly’s Dream Bullying Support Line provides free, confidential support from trained counsellors, available 24/7 to anyone who needs it.
No referral is required, and it's open to anyone seeking guidance or support. Our trained counsellors provide guidance and help create a safety plan for any young person facing bullying - online, at school, or in their everyday life.
Every call answered is a young person heard. And every conversation is an opportunity to help someone feel safer, supported, and less alone.
Your donation today helps ensure the Dolly’s Dream Bullying Support Line is there to answer the call when a young person in crisis reaches out, providing immediate, life-saving support so no child has to face bullying alone.
