Canada: 24 Hour Crisis Resources
Trans Life Line- Most crisis hotlines employ non-consensual emergency responder interventions when assessments of callers/texters in crisis are presumed to be experiencing “imminent risk” of suicide. The situational uses of such interventions are not clearly available to callers, and most policies mandate not informing callers of active dispatch, or what these interventions may entail. While intended as a last resort on many hotlines, in practice it is too readily used, causing several unintended harmful consequences to both trans and non-trans people. Trans Lifeline has a policy against non-consensual active rescue. They will not call emergency services or law enforcement without explicit request – even if you tell them you or someone else is in danger.
