Please remember this is not a crisis response service. That means I only answer emails, texts, and phone calls during business hours. I aim to respond within 48 hours during the week and on Monday if I receive a message over the weekend.

As a result, if you find yourself in need of more timely support, you can call the following: - 988 - Here247 at 1-844-437-3247 or http://here247.ca/ - Canada Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566 or text 45645 (between 4 pm - midnight) - https://www.crisisservicescanada.ca/en/ - 1-888-893-8333 CMHA - Simcoe County Branch provides this service.

If you or someone you know is talking about suicide, please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room. This is an emergent situation.
