Women's Helpline

Women's Helpline Inc was founded in response to the urgent need for easily accessible mental health support for women from all walks of life. Women's Helpline offers emotional support as a preventative step, before it turns into a mental health crises. In Canada, 47% of Women are considered at high risk of developing mental health problems, highlighting the need for early intervention such as providing emotional support. Women's Helpline aims to provide a safe space for women to share their feelings and experiences of daily life stressors, in an effort to reduce the onset of serious mental health challenges.

Women's Helpline utilizes a feminist, holistic, empowerment and person centered approach, inspired by teachings from the Indigenous Medicine Wheel. The Indigenous Medicine Wheel symbolizes the Interconnectedness of the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional ailments of self, noting the importance of balance and wellness within each area of life. At Women's Helpline, we uphold these values by promoting healing and wellness through our emotional support services. Women's Helpline aims to promote mental clarity, emotional resilience, physical wellness, and spiritual fulfillment through our services and connection to supports within the community. We understand that finding balance often necessitates additional resources and connections; therefore, we actively connect women to community programs, mental health specialists, and support networks that can help them on their healing journey. By incorporating these holistic techniques, we hope to empower women by acknowledging their individual experiences by establishing a sense of community and belonging.
