The United States recently introduced a national 9-8-8 short code which directs callers to a hotline offering support for those experiencing mental health concerns, in order to obtain support in a quick and effective manner.
This functionality is not yet available within Canada, although the CRTC has indicated that a similar service will be introduced in the future.
If you are suicidal or experiencing mental health concerns and require assistance, please consider contacting Canada's Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-833-456-4566.
