Youth Addiction Continues to Increase

Just ten years ago, “children” and “addiction” were not words that were often spoken in the same sentence. But with the recent rise of smartphones, screentime, and social media, an alarming number of children and teens have been developing gaming, pornography, and sports betting addictions.

Tragically, in the very same time period, we have also witnessed a heartbreaking rise in youth overdose and suicide.

Early prevention and education has never been more urgent! THERE’S A CONNECTING LINE TO BE DRAWN.

Lifeline is now seeing an increase of over 35% in the demand for our youth and parent services, with more parents bringing in their kids due to excessive screen use.

We need YOUR support to continue helping individuals draw a firm line before an actual life is on the line. 

We need your support to expand our team of professionals, enhance our outreach program, upgrade our services, and provide more lifelines for families in need.
