Our Mission: inspire, empower and support our members to achieve hunger-free communities
Our Goals:
Calltime: Mental Health is an initiative created by British Columbia’s motion picture industry unions, driven by our vision statement: We envision a future where motion picture industry workers come together as a Community of Care to help those with mental illness and substance abuse issues; a culture where everyone feels safe at work; and supported and empowered to ask for and offer help; where union staff and department managers and supervisors have access to training and resources to adequately address issues as they arise; and where impairment at work is seen as an occupational health and safety issue and is neither accepted nor condoned.
The Hospital Crisis Program supports individuals who arrive at the hospital’s Birchmount and General hospitals’ emergency departments.

For decades, Spectra Helpline (Peel) and Distress Centres (Toronto) have individually championed and executed our aligned missions of ensuring every individual in need of emotional support or crisis intervention has access to life-sustaining care delivered by highly-trained volunteers supported by professional staff.
After careful evaluation and thoughtful consideration, the boards of Spectra Helpline and Distress Centres unanimously voted to merge our respective organizations in an effort to Enhance the Breadth and Expand the Reach of the services that we provide individuals at risk and in their most vulnerable moments. As of May 2019, Spectra Helpline received Canada Revenue Agency confirmation of its merger with Toronto Distress Centres.
