Boys Town:

Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and hope for the future. While some children have many opportunities to shine in these areas, others don’t, because they are struggling to survive poverty, abuse, neglect, and families in crisis. Regardless of a person’s background, race, or religion, Boys Town believes that everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

Unfortunately, even with the many young lives we save and change, there are still far too many boys and girls who could benefit from our help but don’t know how to find it. We hope you can help increase awareness to those youth (and their families) who need the unique assistance our Hotline services provide. 

We have grown to become a national organization that reaches communities from coast to coast, and our scope has expanded to include in-home family counseling, health care and programs to rebuild at-risk schools.

One of our services, provided free of charge, is the Boys Town National Hotline®, a 24/7 crisis hotline for kids and parents. It provides a website specifically for teenagers called www.YourLifeYourVoice.org .  For 30 years, the Boys Town National Hotline® and its extended services have been answering the call when children and parents need immediate, professional, and compassionate assistance, answering 150,000 calls, emails, texts, and chats a year.

Phony Influencer
Trusted, Expert-Built Parenting Support in a Noisy Digital World

In today’s digital landscape, parents are surrounded by parenting advice—viral videos, trending testimonials, and “one-size-fits-all” tips flooding social media feeds. Yet it’s often unclear who is behind the advice or whether it’s grounded in real experience, evidence-based practice, or increasingly, AI-generated content.

For parents seeking guidance they can truly trust, there is a dependable resource: Parenting.org. Parenting.org provides free, practical, and trustworthy support for parents facing any challenge, from everyday parenting moments to more complex behavioral, emotional, and developmental concerns. Every article, video, and resource is developed by human experts—not artificial intelligence—and built on proven strategies refined through decades of real-world practice.

The content is created by Boys Town behavioral health and parenting experts, drawing from more than 100 years of experience working directly with children and families. These evidence-based methods ensure parents receive guidance that is credible, actionable, and rooted in outcomes—not trends.

Whether parents are managing tantrums, navigating adolescence, addressing mental health concerns, or simply looking for reassurance, Parenting.org delivers support that is accessible anytime, at no cost. The platform equips parents with tools they can trust, helping them feel confident, informed, and supported at every stage of raising a family. With Parenting.org, parents gain more than information—they gain a trusted expert partner backed by a century of experience helping families thrive.

Piling Up

As demands pile up, the spot reflects a reality many teens face: feeling overwhelmed while trying to maintain balance in everyday life.

Designed to inform and empower, the PSA reinforces a clear message—help is available, and it’s free. Viewers are introduced to the Your Life Your Voice app, an accessible, youth-friendly resource that encourages teens to pause, check in with their emotions, and access practical coping tips in real time.

Beyond self-help tools, the PSA drives viewers to immediate, live support. Teens can connect to free crisis counseling, build personalized plans for managing stress, and reach trained, compassionate professionals when emotions escalate. For urgent moments, the PSA prominently directs teens to the Boys Town National Hotline (1-800-448-3000)—available 24/7, at no cost, and staffed by counselors specially trained to support youth.

With its relevant subject matter, clear educational value, and strong call to action, this PSA offers broadcasters a meaningful opportunity to serve young audiences and families. It delivers a hopeful, responsible message: teens don’t have to face today’s challenges alone—and trusted, expert help is always just a call or tap away
