Additional support and information is just a phone call away:

• Call 211 (24/7) or visit 211ontario.ca for information on other community services and programs for people who are experiencing homelessness, living on a low income, living alone, or coping with life changes. Services are available in over 150 languages.
  
• Call 911 (24/7) if you’re concerned about someone experiencing homelessness or sleeping outdoors who may be at experiencing severe health issues.
  
• Call 988 (24/7) if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis.
  People across Canada can call and text 9-8-8, a new three-digit service, for help when they need it most. The service offers trauma-informed and culturally affirming support to anyone who is thinking of suicide, or who is worried about someone they know. While the focus of 9-8-8 is on suicide prevention, no one who reaches out to the service will be turned away. Whoever you are, wherever you are located in Canada, by calling or texting 9-8-8 you can connect with a trained responder who’s ready to listen without judgement.
