9-8-8 service is coming to Canada

[J_PM]

Hello Community, 

On November 30, 2023, Canada will be launching a national mental health crisis and suicide prevention number that anyone can access by either dialing or texting 9-8-8. It will be available 24/7 from coast to coast and free of charge.

Help is still available in the meantime. People experiencing mental health distress can obtain assistance through Talk Suicide Canada by calling 1-833-456-4566 toll-free. Support is also available through text. Adults can text 741741 and youth can text 686868. Talk Suicide Canada’s text service is available at 45645 from 4 p.m. to midnight, Eastern Time.
