“I am thinking of giving up … I have no one, no friends, no family, no one who cares.  I am depressed and lonely.  I’m caught in a loop and I can’t get out.”

Sally’s call is one of many crisis calls each year to Distress Centre Oakville.  We have repeat callers who are dealing with chronic challenges: physical disabilities, health challenges, depression, mental illness, isolation and loneliness.
