This was misinformation last time it circulated, and I believe (?) Canada advised not to call a number because it wasn’t staffed for the volume. Anyone confirm if this one is legit?

Is this true? How does our hotline absorb 100x the volume of calls?

This is misinformation.
No, Canada hasn’t launched a suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ Americans
The internet rumor is false, but there are still resources available for people in crisis.

However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.
