Calls are answered by United Way BC Helpline Services professionals who have completed trauma response and cultural sensitivity training, who can:

• ​listen to the caller's experience 
• provide information about local support services,
• direct the caller on next steps based on their comfort level, and
• with consent, refer the caller to the services that best match their needs. 

This service is free and confidential. Callers who prefer a language other than English can let the call taker know their preferred language and an interpreter will be patched into the call.
