Crisis Support

If you are experiencing an emergency or feel that you may not be able to keep yourself safe, please call 911 or go to your nearest Emergency Department immediately.

I am not a crisis service and do not provide after-hours emergency support. If you require immediate assistance outside of a scheduled appointment, please contact one of the following:

• Call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline – available 24/7 across Canada)

• Calgary Distress Centre: 403-266-HELP (4357)

• Mental Health Helpline (Alberta Health Services): 1-877-303-2642

These services are available 24 hours a day and can provide immediate support.

Once you are safe and your immediate crisis has stabilized, I welcome you to contact me to arrange an appointment so we can work together on longer-term support and prevention.
