Canada’s 988 hotline, which gives people access to suicide prevention services via call or text, went live on Thursday.

People in every province and territory who are experiencing a mental health crisis and need immediate, real-time support can use the three-digit number.

    Yeah same experience as my friend. He said one girl questioned whether he was really committing suicide and just hung up on him. I guess he didn’t sound distraught enough? To me I would have shut the whole system down but I guess it looked good on the surface and kept a few managers in a nice home.
