211 or 911 // Toronto Community Crisis Service: CMHA

Join us for our fourth and final presentation on the pilot program, highlighting the unique work being done by CMHA in Toronto’s Northwest communities.

The Toronto Community Crisis Service is a 3 year pilot project run by the City of Toronto’s Police reform initiative. The Canadian Mental Health Association – Toronto branch launched in July 2022 in northwest Toronto.

TCCS is a non-police lead crisis service for anyone dealing with a mental health or addiction crisis. The objective of the program is to reduce the harm that disproportionately impacts Black, Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQ2S+, and other marginalized groups. Post Crisis Case Management is available for clients who connected with the team during crisis. The case management services are up to 6 months and works to address barriers that have caused crisis (social determinants of health).
