Today (August 31st, 2022), the CRTC announced that starting November, 2023 Canadians can call 988 to reach mental health support! Although the solution to the mental health crisis in Canada is a long journey, this is an amazing first step! The CRTC predict “The implementation of 9-8-8 as an easy-to-remember three-digit number will help reduce barriers to mental health and suicide prevention resources”. I will be briefly discussing the implementation of the 988 number with Toronto radio news station NEWSTALK1010 tomorrow (September 1st,2022) at 7:35 AM!
