CAMH’s Telephone Support Line will answer

In 2003, Volunteer Resources collaborated with the McLaughlin Information Centre to establish CAMH’s Telephone Support Line as part of an ongoing commitment to support staff and the community. Since then it has successfully provided dedicated and confidential peer and informal support to people whose lives have been touched by addiction and/or mental health issues. Callers can discuss their own personal issues or those of a loved one.

“We have a trained team of volunteers who answer calls Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 9 pm. These hours compliment the hours of other services available in the community, making volunteers on the Telephone Support Line available when others may not be,” says Andrea Reynolds, CAMH Volunteer Coordinator.

CAMH’s Telephone Support Line Offers:

• An understanding that living with an addiction and/or a mental health issue can be challenging and sometimes it can help to share these challenges with someone.
• An understanding that having a loved one with mental health and/or addiction issues can be challenging, and friends and family need support too.
• A client-centred approach that focuses on offering a friendly ear, validation and support and empowerment. 
• Confidentiality – all calls are strictly confidential.
