Emergency Resources
If you are experiencing significant distress and feel that you are in need of immediate help or support, then please seek professional services. In case of an emergency, you should go to the Emergency Department of your nearest hospital or call 911. If you are in crisis and need to talk to someone for guidance, then you can call a distress line (e.g., the Suicide Crisis Helpline at 988, the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto at 416-408-4357, the Gerstein Crisis Centre at 416-929-5200, or COAST Hamilton at 1-844-972-8338). There are crisis workers available to speak to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
