Phone-based mental health and addiction supports in the province are being streamlined. PEI’s Mental Health and Addictions Access Line has increased staffing and capacity to include services offered through The Island Helpline.
The Island Helpline service transferred to the Mental Health and Addictions Access Line on January 1st to provide one single point of access and a more integrated 24/7 service. Officials say the transition also allows for access to the Mobile Mental Health Team when more urgent calls are received.
