Distress and Crisis Ontario

Distress and Crisis Ontario (DCO), is a provincial association that primarily supports training & education, advocacy, and networking for distress centres across Ontario. Distress centres offer 24/7 support and referrals at no cost to a caller experiencing distress or in active crisis including suicidal ideation. Centres sometimes have specialties such as 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly services, Indigenous support programs, support services for youth, telephone call-out programs for seniors and other vulnerable populations such as in the developmental sector or university population.
