The Cause

THE TORONTO DISTRESS CENTRES

Since 1967, as an initially modest outreach of a concerned group of community leaders, Distress Centres has provided 24 hour telephone support, 365 days of the year.

Hundreds of thousands of calls later, this agency continues to offer round the clock response to those in need of crisis intervention and suicide prevention.

They also provide face to face support and counseling to people dealing with the effects of suicide and homicide.

Their services now include:

  • 408-HELP line
  • Caller Reassurance Program to support those in need of regular outbound communication
  • Survivor Support Program, a counseling service for those suffering from the effects of suicide and homicide
  • PAIRO Helpline for physicians and those in the health care industry
  • EMS Warm Transfer line to support 911 crisis calls
  • Community Education and Outreach.
