Winnipeg’s New Mental Health Response Line | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg’s mayor is pushing for a bold new approach to mental health emergencies: a dedicated crisis line separate from 911, designed to connect callers with trained mental health professionals instead of police or paramedics. The goal? Handle over 10,000 calls a year, redirecting emergency resources to where they’re most needed and ensuring culturally sensitive, community-driven care. With city council’s approval targeted for September and provincial support essential, this could reshape how Winnipeg responds to mental health and addiction crises — one call at a time.
