QuaranTeen Warmline, a peer-to-peer support helpline, is a safe space for teenagers to discuss their problems amid the pandemic

Tara Dave spends every evening on phone calls. Not surprising for a 17-year-old, but what is unusual is that every day, she speaks to children across the country, as part of QuaranTeen Warmline, a peer-to-peer support helpline, exclusively for teenagers aged 15 to 18, that she helms.

“Many hotlines have come up for people to call when in a crisis, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic started,” says the Mumbai resident. But what about those who just needed a safe outlet to vent out their worries, she wondered. “When I was talking to my friends, a lot of them told me about their academic uncertainties, issues at home.
