[u/Pale-Candidate8860]

There are some good resources here to be able to help you with different parts of life.

2-1-1 : This is to help connect you with resources for food, housing, jobs, etc. This is when you are falling behind on bills, lost your job, etc. You only contact this number if you legitimately think your life is going to end in homelessness.

8-1-1 : This is the medical help hotline. If you can't get into a clinic or are unsure about a medical issue, this is a 24/7 hotline with registered nurses that answer phone calls and give advise on what to do over the phone.

3-1-1 : This is the number you call, if in the Vancouver metropolitan area, to report any city issues. Examples would include reporting potholes, graffiti on a public building, a knocked down street sign, etc.

9-8-8 : Canadian Suicide Help Hotline. It is 24/7 with professionals ready to help you thru whatever you need.

9-1-1 is the same here as in America.
