It was announced earlier today that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will be implementing a new number for people who need immediate mental health help or a suicide intervention.
That new number will be three digits and the digits in question will be 9-8-8.
This number is intended to allow for people to have greater access to the help they need regardless of where they’re located.
However, due to networks across the country needing to be adjust to 10 digit dialing, this number isn’t expected to be launched until November 30th of next year.
In the meantime, the number to call for those in need of support for their mental health is 1-833-456-4566.
