Distress and Crisis Ontario

Distress and Crisis Ontario (DCO), an administrative membership association, supports advocacy, networking, and training for Distress Centres (DCs) in Ontario. DCs offer instant support and a variety of services to their communities and are a place where callers can find a listening ear for anyone who is feeling lonely, depressed, is struggling with suicidal ideation, or who is otherwise in need of support. Most centres operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and may include suicide survivor programs, LGBTQ+ friendly services, support services for youth, telephone call-out programs for seniors and other vulnerable populations, mental health crisis lines, and more.
