As September arrives, shorter days, changing routines, and the return to school or work can bring added stress, anxiety, loneliness, or emotional distress. If you or someone you care about is struggling this fall, support is available. CRCL (pronounced “circle”), which stands for Crisis Response, Community-Led, provides a free mobile crisis response service in the Comox Valley for anyone aged 13 and older. Trained crisis responders offer compassionate, person-centered support when it is needed most. Save this number: CRCL Crisis Line 250-681-4878.
