Calls to Distress Centre Calgary's crisis line, 403.266.HELP (4357), are confidential and non-judgemental. They offer free 24-hour crisis intervention, professional counselling and referral services to help you overcome crisis.

Everyone has a different definition of crisis. But, no matter who you are or what you’re facing, they can help.
