Urgent Health Resources

How to access care in those extremely challenging moments

These resources are meant to provide additional support. If you or anyone you know is experiencing an emergency, please go to your nearest hospital, contact CAR87 (where a police presence and psychiatric nurse arrive on site),or call 911.

If there are any resources you feel would be helpful to include please email us at info@tonume.com
​Our Directors would like to express our gratitude to our in-house counsellors who assembled these valuable resources.
