Someone is hurt, a life is in danger, there is a fire, or a crime is happening. Police, fire and ambulance.
Call or text any hour if you are thinking of ending your life or cannot keep yourself safe. Free. A trained person answers.
Your city's help line. In Toronto it is open any hour and can find you an emergency shelter bed tonight and connect you to city services like Ontario Works (welfare). Peel, Halton and Durham have 311 too. York Region and Hamilton don't, so call 211 there.
Food, housing, welfare, legal help, mental health and more, anywhere in Ontario. Free, any hour, in many languages.
Volunteering, sponsorship, a young person who needs House of Brass, a partnership, media, or you just need a way in. Write it below and a human reads it.
Don't wait for an email. A person reads this form, but that takes hours, not seconds.
In danger right now: call 911.
Thinking of ending your life, or you can't keep yourself safe: call or text 988. Open every hour, and a real person answers.
Drugs or drink, anywhere in Ontario: call 1-866-531-2600. Open every hour, a real person answers.
Not sure what you need? Tell Clara what's happening. Food, a bed, a clinic or a shower near you: text Clara at 437-524-9936, or message @ClaraEmberBot on Telegram. Free, any hour. Clara is our computer helper, not a person. She answers in seconds and she can look things up, but she cannot come to you. If she thinks you may be in danger she alerts our small team, and we cannot promise someone is free at every hour.
If someone is in immediate danger, skip the form: call 911, or 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline. Both answer 24/7.
