We’re here to help you or someone you know.
1 in 5 young people struggle with their mental health, but many do not know how to find help.
That’s why in Peel Region, we have 3 ways to help children, youth and young adults (up to age 25) get connected to free and confidential mental health services that can help them.
This service provides support if you are experiencing a mental health crisis that is not life-threatening but would benefit from a supportive response. Crises may include feeling depressed, worried, and/or experiencing suicidal thoughts. Parents/caregivers can also call if they are concerned about a child’s safety or behaviour.
When you call EveryMind’s 24/7 Crisis Response Service at 905-278-9036 and press 1, you will be connected to a crisis worker who will talk to you about what you’re going through and help you make a plan. We can also help you get connected to ongoing supports.
Call us at 905-278-9036 and press 1 to access free and confidential support when you need it the most. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays.
905-278-9036 (or 1-888-811-2222 in Caledon and Dufferin) also connects to 24/7 Crisis Support from CMHA Peel Dufferin for adults and youth ages 16 and older.
If you are age 16 or 17, when you call 905-278-9036, you will be able to choose whether you prefer crisis support from EveryMind or CMHA Peel Dufferin.
