The national Suicide Crisis Helpline launched last week, and Quinte Health is proud to be a partner in service.
Available 24-7, 9-8-8 will connect those considering suicide and those worried about another with responders who will provide confidential support. The CIC team will accept referrals for counseling services to only those within Quinte Health service region.
Dr. Colin MacPherson, Chief of Staff at Quinte Health, says this support is much-needed.
MacPherson says access to support plays a vital role in saving lives.
MacPherson also says it’s another tool in the kit.
