There’s a day for every occasion- and February 11th is National 211 Day.
United Way Centraide is a partner in the hotline that has information on almost everything- and frontline staff are getting an earful.
A survey indicates an overwhelming 76% of Canadians say the pandemic has had an effect on their mental health.
Volumes of calls to 211 are up over 30 percent since the Pandemic began.
Food access; Financial aid; Mental health and addictions services; Housing; and COVID-19 information are the top five drivers of 211 activity.
February 11 is 211 Day, being marked across the country for the first time ever.
38 national landmarks will be lit up tonight to commemorate the occasion.
211 is accessible 7 days a week and available in over 150 languages by dialing 2-1-1.
