The Distress Centre provides crisis intervention and information & referral services
through four core programs:
Crisis lines
We offer a main crisis and addictions line as well as four specialty phone
lines providing crisis intervention and information and referral services 24/7, 365 days a year.
211
Our newest telephone line is the three digit 211 number which provides information and referral
to community and social services.
Professional counselling
The no fee crisis counselling program is delivered by registered social workers.
Counselling sessions occur on-site at the Distress Centre and are short-term in nature with the
goal of stabilizing the situation.
Public education
The public education program provides informative and preventative sessions.
Most of these presentations are given in high schools to equip teens with the tools to make healthy choices.
All Distress Centre services are free of charge to the public. Donations are gratefully accepted.
