Chinese Language Support Line
On April 12, 2021, ECSSEN Career School launched the Chinese Emotional Support Hotline to provide free emotional support, crisis intervention and resource information/referral in the Chinese language. This is the first service in Canada that provides 24/7 support to Chinese callers.
The hotline is staffed by over 100 Chinese speaking volunteers. All volunteers & staff have received culturally tailored extensive training in supportive listening, crisis and mental health topics including suicide, family violence, child protection, crisis response and community resources.
Our hotline offers immediate short-term emotional support. We also offer peer support groups and webinars which help our community members better their mental health in the long term. We empower our callers to improve their ability to deal with daily stressors by working collaboratively with them to explore coping strategies and come up with action plans. You can access the hotline by calling 584-997-5977.
