The PHP also does not provide treatment, but matches callers to community services.
Please note that the PHP is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, you can obtain immediate support from the Wellness Support Line at 1-800-851-6606. You can also call your local crisis line or go to your local hospital.
The PHP is a confidential service provided by the Ontario Medical Association, which works independently of the regulatory colleges.
You can remain anonymous, and will not be required to provide any identifying information.
