"Champions" is the debut film launching the Kids Help Phone 686868 Circuit: an initiative that turns the everyday act of counting reps into a reminder of KHP's text line number, 686868. Starring pro athletes like Andre De Grasse, William Nylander, and Penny Oleksiak alongside real youth, the film reveals the impact of pressure on young athletes' mental health, reminding them that "Even champions need champions" and seamlessly embedding Kids Help Phone into the world of sport.
