# What mental health services are available in Canada?

## If you or someone you know are struggling with poor mental health or suicidal thoughts, there is always help available.

 If you or someone you know is feeling depressed or having thoughts of ending their life, this can feel frightening, confusing and isolating. It’s really important that you speak to someone about what’s going on and how you feel.

If you have questions around mental health support, some of the resources below may help. You can also make an appointment with your GPand/or reach out to one of the mental health support providers. 

#### Urgent Support

If you need to speak to someone urgently:  

- Call or text the [Suicide Crisis Helpline](https://988.ca/) on 9-8-8, 24/7, for bilingual support
- Call The Kids Help Phone on 1-800-668-6868, text CONNECT to 686868, or access the live chat 7pm to midnight (ET) [here](https://kidshelpphone.ca/need-help-now-web-message-us/)

In addition to contacting a crisis line, it’s also important to reach out to a friend or family member, if possible, to let them know you are feeling suicidal.
