A caller shared this original artwork. It was included in a thank you note that explained how Telecare Distress Line Volunteers helped her to make it through her difficult days living with a mental health diagnosis. She called it "light/dark/bipolar". Many of our callers live with some diagnosis as do many of our friends, family and coworkers. Our callers are also successful artists, labourers, teachers and so much more. Telecare Distress Line Volunteers are available 24/7 for anyone who just needs someone to listen.
