988 is a new 3-digit dialing code that directs callers to suicide and crisis lines.
We invited The Honourable Ya’ara Saks, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, to announce this exciting new partnership. Minister Saks was joined by MP Wilson Miao (Richmond Centre), Dr. Allison Crawford (Chief Medical Officer with Talk Suicide Canada), Stacy Ashton (Executive Director of Vancouver Crisis Centre), and Slinder Bhatti (Executive Director of Chimo Community Services).
We are honoured to join this network and to be able to support so many more Canadians!
