For some people, a little conversation

can make a big difference.

So, what if we told you that a meaningful connection was just a phone call away?

The Friendly Calls program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them regularly to check in, provide emotional support, encourage healthy coping strategies, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services.

Everyone deserves to benefit from the power of human connection, no matter where you live.

Friendly Calls is safe, accessible, free and available nationwide.

Call 1-833-979-9779 toll-free from 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays, or visit the Canadian Red Cross to sign up.
