We're more than four months into the Russian war in Ukraine. It's been nearly a year since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan. About half of newcomers from those regions are kids and they are struggling with the mental health issues. Kids Help Phone has stepped up and added four new languages to its service to support these young people. Ravina Anthony, Project Manager, Newcomer & Diversity Initiatives at Kids Help Phone joins us to talk about it.
