Thank you to all the amazing responders across the 9-8-8 network who were answering calls and texts over the long weekend, 24 hours a day. It takes a special kind of person to do what you do; without you, 9-8-8 would not exist. Thank you! #988Canada

The school year is over and summer vacation has begun, but for some people that means they don’t have access to their usual support system. If you’re feeling overwhelmed this summer, call or text 9-8-8. Day or night, a 9-8-8 responder is just three digits away. #988Canada

The warmer weather kicking in later this week feels like a perfect excuse to get outside, soak up some fresh air, and move your body. Even a short walk or light jog can do wonders for your mental health and your mood! #mentalhealth #edmonton #yeg

No one who reaches out to 9-8-8 will be turned away. Our trained responders will support you, whatever you are going through. But asking for help can be difficult, so to make it less intimidating we wanted to show you what happens when you call 9-8-8. #988Canada
