Get and Give Help
Let’s support one another to access support or by providing support to our Ontario Tech Campus Community.
How to Get Help: Accessing Support
If you are in distress/experiencing a mental health crisis and require emergency support, call Campus Security at 905.721.8668 ext. 2400 or 905.721.3211 for on campus response. If you are not on campus, call 911 if you need immediate help.
Suicide Crisis Helpline: If you're thinking about suicide, call or text 988 toll-free, anytime.
Alternatively, support can be accessed through the below resources. These supports are also outlined in our How to Get Help Poster.
