Emergency services can reach you and help right away.
Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English and French.
These services are free, confidential, and open to anyone in Canada.

A note from the Alliance.
We are not a crisis service, and this page is not a substitute for one.
The Alliance exists because the disability system too often becomes a source of harm. If it has harmed you, that was never acceptable. You deserve support now, from people trained to give it.
