 Visit www.idetermine.ca or text 647.370.8300 for support from a trained counsellor.

 The platform offers:

✔ 24/7 access to counsellors via text & chat ✔ A safety assessment quiz ✔ Referrals and resources ✔ Information about abuse ✔ Tips about internet safety

 As everyone continues to stay home, we understand that home is not a safe place for everyone. Many women and non-binary folks who are living with abuse are now trapped at home all of the time with the person doing harm to them and with no privacy to call a telephone helpline.
