Distress Centre Halton

Today we celebrate all the strong, inspiring women in our community. Take care of yourself today and every day, ladies. #InternationalWomensDay

Studies show that even a short call with a stranger can help ease loneliness, anxiety and depression. When you need someone to talk to, we're #HereToHear https://www.ctvnews.ca//a-phone-call-may-be-all-it-takes-t

We need first aid for our mental health just as much as our physical health.

Our volunteers are still available to take calls even during #lockdown. We are adhering to best practices and respecting lockdown measures for #COVID19 so that our volunteers remain safe while they take your calls. When you need to talk, call us. Toll-Free: 1-833-924-1946

It's hard when #lockdown keeps you from doing your favourite things, and you don't know when you will be able to get back to them. It can feel like losing part of yourself. If you need to talk about how lockdown has you feeling, call us. Toll-Free: 1-833-924-1946
