Life can feel overwhelming for many reasons. Stress, loneliness, grief, relationship difficulties, anxiety, uncertainty or simply having a difficult day can leave us feeling like we need someone to talk to.
Telecare Distress Lines of Greater Simcoe provides free, confidential emotional support by telephone, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our specially trained volunteers are here to listen without judgment, acknowledge what you’re going through, and offer support when you need someone to talk to.
Call Telecare today. We're here to listen.
Anyone who needs someone to listen.
You might be feeling lonely, overwhelmed, worried, sad, frustrated or simply in need of a caring conversation. Whatever is weighing on you, you can reach out.
There is no need to explain why you “should” be feeling a certain way.
If it matters to you, it matters to us.
You’ll be heard. A specially trained Telecare volunteer will listen to you compassionately and without judgment.
Your conversation will be confidential. You can talk openly knowing that Telecare is a confidential service.
You may be connected to additional support. When appropriate, our volunteers can provide information about community resources and services that may offer additional help.
Telecare is a distress line, not a crisis line.
