MEN’S HELP-LINE 24/day in Nova Scotia
Life can be tough. It’s okay for any man to reach out and ask for help. That’s why we’ve launched a free, confidential Men’s Helpline through 211. It’s a new service available 24/7 for adult men (18 years and older) who have concerns about their emotional well-being, safety, safety of others, and/or who are experiencing crisis.
September is Suicide Prevention Month – a time to remind Nova Scotians that anyone can connect with 211 for navigation and supports, and to be linked with local community resources.
