Call2Connect Program

You’re not alone!

“When we’re in the grips of a crisis or distress, sometimes all we need is someone to talk to, who’ll listen, understand, and validate how we’re feeling. This emotional support is so powerful, and the Call2Connect Program aims to lighten the weight you’re carrying, even just for a moment, while providing options of where to go for the support you need”.
