Need Help?
If you feel isolated, disconnected, or you don’t know where to turn, it can be so hard to ask for help. Especially when you feel like no one understands.
You’re not alone. We’re here for you, without judgment. Our services are for Indigenous women and are provided by Indigenous women, ensuring support and solutions that will help you take control of your own life in your community.
Whether it’s just by providing someone who listens and cares, or more direct support to help in potentially dangerous situations, Talk4Healing is here to get you started.
Call or text us at 1-855-554-HEAL, or start your live chat session to begin your journey to healing today.
