1800SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) was officially launched on September 10, 2004: World Suicide Prevention Day. The first of its kind in Canada, the network has supported tens of thousands of callers throughout BC ensuring that people have access to skilled suicide assessment and intervention when they need it most.

​The focus is on answering and supporting suicide-related calls. Crisis line workers use evidence-based techniques and a province-wide Emergency Resource Database to support callers. When needed, crisis line workers are able to provide intervention through emergency mental health teams and other emergency services.
