The Hope for Wellness Helpline is available to all Indigenous people across Canada. Experienced and culturally competent counsellors are reachable by telephone and online ‘chat’ 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Both telephone and online chat services are available in English and French. Telephone support is also available upon request in:
- Cree;
- Ojibway (Anishinaabemowin);
