Mental Health Resources
Here 24/7
Here 24/7 is your front door to the addictions, mental health, and crisis services provided by 11 agencies across Waterloo Wellington. All you need to do is reach out to us. We'll work together with you to understand what you need and work to get you connected. We do the intake, assessment, and referrals for most local government funded addictions and mental health services. If you need a service outside what Here 24/7 can offer, we'll do our best to link you directly. It’s our job to be your guide, figure out your needs, and help you navigate the system. This leaves you free to focus on maintaining hope and pursuing recovery.
