WhatsOK

WhatsOK is a website and a helpline that offers free, confidential support and resources to youth and young adults (ages 14-21) with concerns about their own or a friend’s sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Every helpline counselor has been specifically trained on sexual health, safe and unsafe sexual behavior, child sexual abuse, and prevention. They are compassionate and non-judgmental, and they have heard people share some very difficult concerns.

No matter what you’re reaching out about, there’s nothing that will shock or scare them - and they want to help you!

Helpline counselors listen to your concerns, provide support, resources, feedback and next step guidance. They can help you problem-solve, address barriers that get in the way of safe decision making, and provide accurate information to help you determine the next steps available to you. They may share links to other organizations, information on how to find a therapist, or other helplines that can offer support, depending on what an individual’s incoming needs are.

Despite having “counselor” in their title, they are not therapists or mental health counselors and do not provide therapy, which means that they can’t provide coping skills for mental health conditions, nor can they diagnose or provide ongoing counseling or offer ongoing support like a therapist can.

Our helpline counselors are here to help support you to the next step in your journey, whatever that looks like for you.
