This is actually terrific news! Before this, every province had their own suicide hotline which were understaffed and so poorly supported that I wonder if they didn't cause more suicides than prevent them!
A friend of mine had called them 4x between a three month span during 2021 and only got through to one helpful person. The rest were hang ups, or under qualified staff (he said one of the counsellors spent the entire time talking about his experience on the job and how hard it was).
If this is properly funded and they have qualified staff, I think it'll make a real impact!
