CRISIS CENTER

The MGS Foundation is seeking to provide our readers with the most up-to-date hotlines and online resources to help those in crisis due to the loss of a loved one.

Below, you will find a list of provincial & national crisis lines. We are working toward expanding our database and if you know of a quality hotline service that others would benefit from that is not listed here, please email us.

If you find yourself in a life-threatening situation, please call 911.
