June is a great month to give to Telecare
As people began to isolate themselves as instructed at the beginning of COVID-19 we wondered what the impact would be on Telecare’s call volume. At first, there wasn’t much of a change, but the longer self-isolation continued the more calls Telecare began receiving to the point where call volume was up 30% in April 2020.
As the demand for Telecare’s services continues and grows there is a continuing need for your support.
We’re happy to announce that a generous donor is offering a matching gift
for the month of June. Every dollar donated to Telecare in the month of June will be matched up to a total of $2000 meaning our $2000 becomes $4000 making June a great month to give to Telecare!
But that’s not all...
Thanks to our friends at CanadHelps, you can give Telecare a chance to win $20,000 in June. They are holding a contest in June called The Great Canadian Giving Challenge
in which every dollar donated through CanadaHelps is an entry into the Giving Challenge and a chance to win the $20,000 prize.
You don’t have to give through CanadaHelps for your donation to be matched. All donations in June will be matched up to a total of $2000 no matter how you give.

Gary and Jane represent a growing mental health crisis in Canada—one marked by hidden loneliness across all ages. Nearly 30% of Canadians report frequent feelings of loneliness which is a major contributor to depression and emotional distress. While Gary isolates in silence and Jane hides her pain behind good grades, both could benefit from intentional peer support. Services like Telecare and chat-based mental health support offer a lifeline to those who struggle to speak their pain aloud. For many, text and phone support lines reduce distress, offering compassionate care and hope.
Youth in Canada are facing rising rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Plus, social media overuse, academic pressure, and isolation contribute to many mental health struggles. Yet, access to digital support is helping bridge the gap. Early success stories confirm that chat-based emotional care can be life-saving. As the mental health landscape shifts, tools like Telecare’s chat support are essential for reaching youth where they are—with compassion and care.
Join us for Listen Up!—an engaging and practical workshop aimed at improving your listening skills in ministry and caregiving roles.
Telecare is taking a bold step into the future of emotional support by reintroducing chat services, offering a lifeline to those who need it most in a way that meets them where they are.
When my husband passed away three years ago, I lost more than a partner—I lost my sense of purpose. My name is Margaret, and I’m 72 years old. I spent nearly 50 years married to the love of my life, building a home, raising children, and sharing every part of my day with him. When he was gone, the house we filled with laughter and memories became unbearably quiet.
One night, lying awake in the early hours, I came across Telecare’s number while scrolling through mental health resources. Something about the phrase “compassionate listening” gave me the courage to call. My hands shook as I dialled, but I thought, What do I have to lose?
Life is filled with moments of difficulty, pain, and uncertainty. In such times, finding words to express our emotions or to pray can feel impossible. The Psalms, however, offer a lifeline.
At Telecare Crisis & Caring Line, our mission to provide compassionate listening and support during personal crises is made possible by our dedicated volunteers and generous donors. Over the years, we have received thousands of calls from people seeking someone to listen.
Another change at Telecare is that we are returning to cohort training twice a year rather than on-your-own training via online resources.
Dr. Dave Currie, a renowned relationship expert and the founder of Doing Family Right, has dedicated over 40 years to strengthening marriages and families through faith-based counselling, teaching, and writing.
