My first attempt at calling this number was so horrible I hung up. It took 5 years for me to try calling again, hoping that experience was a one off. Unfortunately it wasn’t. Calling this line for me has been like pouring gasoline on a fire. There is a severe lack of trauma informed awareness and I think I get more genuine emotion and connection from Siri than these folks.I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but this is for anyone else who’s at the end of their rope and has a similar experience. Please hang on, you’re not alone. There is SO much better help out there, I wouldn’t still be here if there wasn’t.

Whoever is responsible for hiring is doing a poor job. The people on the phone are clearly just there for the paycheck, just twiddling their thumbs until you stop talking so they can end the call. I have better conversations with underpaid, overworked cashiers at Walmart.

Terrible, they ask you what you are calling in for and if it’s not something important they end the call soon.. they like to just get through people and move on

Terrible experience I felt like I was being interegated, not at all empathetic, just couldn't wait to get me off the phone, where do they find these people?

This used to be a helpful number to call. Something has happened though. There are often belligerent people answering the phones. I'm not sure why or how this happened but one can find themselves bullied and hung up on. I'd suggest the suicide hotline if you need a number to call. This number can be not only counterproductive, it can be utterly destructive. Blessings and much love.

No knowledge, no action, no connections. Don't call them if you're actually looking for services, they'll just give you pity and that's all.

I just spoke with a wonderful human being and her name is Bella. I'm new to the Nanaimo and I only have 10 days clean. I'm so overwhelmed with everything that's going on and where I'm staying is not good for my mental health. As of right now I'm homeless and have my dog. Thank you Bella for listening and encouraging me through this difficult time.
