Everyone. From our beginnings in 1974, approximately 2% of the Distress Centre's calls came from people suffering from mental or emotional illnesses ranging from depression to irrational behaviour.

Today, more than 33% of all our calls are of this nature. For many such callers we are their only source of daily support. That leaves 77% of callers who are ordinary people just like you who are trying to make it by.

Every month more than 3,000 people in Peel Region call the Distress Centre Peel.They are ordinary people who are facing difficult life situations, having lost their job, a loved one or who are attempting to overcome alcohol and drug addiction.

They are afraid, certainly alone. They may be depressed, in crisis or thinking about suicide.

At Distress Centre Peel we're here for them, for everyone in need. We give support, crisis intervention and suicide prevention. Learn more about our programs.
