Counselling is a beautiful support service but it is not a crisis support service.
What this means is that your clinician will not be available at any moment you need, you will be required to schedule an appointment with your practitioner. With that being said, we want to ensure you are padded with the resources if you are in need of immediate support.
We have put together a list of crisis lines that are available to you 24/7:
Fraser Health Crisis Line: 604-951-8855
Depression/ Suicide Crisis Line: 1-800-784-2433
Mental Health Line: 310-6789 (no area code needed)
CMHA Line: 1-833-456-4566
If you are not comfortable speaking to someone verbally, but still need support you can text CONNECT to 686868 at any time of the day. A crisis support person will be in touch via text message.
