Crisis Outreach
We provide mobile and walk-in support to people who are feeling overwhelmed, unable to cope, or who are experiencing a crisis. We offer someone who can listen and who can provide practical support such as helping replace lost health cards, linking to housing and income supports, referrals to counselling or addictions services, etc.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available.
