Service Description
Call: 1-800-268-7708 (for the hearing impaired, call 1-800-567-5803) to speak to a mental health professional, or use the online chat to set up an appointment.
Available 24/7 for veterans, former RCMP members, and their families/primary caregivers.
- Confidential and free
- When you call, you will speak to a mental health professional who will ask questions to determine your needs. They will also ask for your location so they can match you up with a local mental health professional for in-person, psychological support
- You can receive up to 20 hours of confidential support per “issue”. The actual number of hours will vary depending on the nature, severity, and urgency of the problem. If the issue requires longer term support than the program can offer, you will be referred to external resources and supported until those specialized services are available
- When dealing with grief for the loss of a loved one, bereavement services are available
- If you would like to receive support from a member of the clergy, pastoral outreach can be provided.
