| It's
more than a job to us
Every
month more than 3,000 people in Peel Region call the Distress
Centre Peel.They are ordinary people who are facing difficult
life situations, having lost their job, a loved one or who
are attempting to overcome alcohol and drug addiction.
They are
afraid, certainly alone. They may be depressed, in crisis
or thinking about suicide.
At Distress
Centre Peel we're here for them, for everyone in need. We
give support, crisis intervention and suicide prevention.

Everyone.
From our beginnings in 1974, approximately 2% of the Distress
Centre's calls came from people suffering from mental or emotional
illnesses ranging from depression to irrational behaviour.
Today,
more than 33% of all our calls are of this nature. For many
such callers we are their only source of daily support.
