Provided by Canadian Red Cross

A volunteer phone call program for individuals experiencing loneliness.
The Friendly Calls program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them regularly to check-in, provide emotional support, encourage healthy coping strategies, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services. Calls can range from a two-minute check-in to a longer, more social chat.
