The 24-hour Vancouver Island Crisis Line is a service contracted by Provincial Health Services Authority. The Vancouver Island Crisis Society is committed to providing accessible voice, text and chat crisis intervention and suicide prevention services, including postvention programs. We endeavour to provide emotional support during times of crisis, information about community resources, education intended to promote community wellness, and reduce the incidence of suicide. We value the principles of confidentiality, non-judgmental acceptance, and respect for diversity, personal empowerment, and cooperation.
