The launch of this network means all Interior Health residents now have around-the-clock access to telephone support through one toll free number: 1-888-353-CARE (2273) when they need assistance managing personal concerns.
Crisis lines are a valued community safety net offering support to callers who are facing challenges such as depression, substance abuse, poverty, spousal abuse or homelessness.
This toll free number links callers to the nearest crisis line first. If that line is busy, the system will route the call to another Interior based crisis line. Crisis lines are often the first step people take when facing personal issues.
