Crisis Services Canada evolved out of the Canadian Distress Line Network – a national network of existing distress, crisis and suicide prevention line services that has been engaging members since 2002.

In 2017, the organization incorporated under the name Crisis Services Canada and launched the Canada Suicide Prevention Service (CSPS). CSC is a collaboration of non-profit distress and crisis service centres from across Canada. We offer a nationally available, regionally delivered service to anyone thinking about or affected by suicide. CSPS is available 24/7, via toll-free phone, text or chat.
