Toll-Free Racist Incident Helpline
"People in B.C. who witness or experience a racist incident can now call a new helpline to receive trauma-informed, culturally appropriate support in more than 240 languages.
The Racist Incident Helpline is a toll-free, accessible service established in partnership with United Way BC 211. The helpline was created for people who have been subjected to discrimination based on the colour of their skin, culture, ethnicity or place of origin.
Callers will receive support and guidance, which could include referrals to local community support services, such as counselling or help with reporting to law enforcement."
☎️The Racist Incident Helpline is available by dialing (toll-free) 1 833 457-5463 (1 833 HLP-LINE).
This helpline is operational on weekdays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and outside of these hours, callers can leave a voicemail with contact information
for a call back. The helpline is not intended to replace emergency services. People in need of immediate assistance should call 911.

The Tri-Cities Wrap Around Model of Care for Mental Health in Immigrant Families Project ended in March 2024. The Project supported over 70 early years‘ service providers per year with eight mental health literacy and promotion capacity building activities (e.g. workshops and training), in which over 80% of respondents agreed that they gained new knowledge, and 94% and 91% of respondents agreed that they gained new skills and new tools, respectively. 96% of respondents indicated that they were somewhat or very likely to apply what they had learned from the training to their work.

The Tri-Cities Community-Based Planning Project also ended in March 2024. TCLIP brought together local stakeholders and organizations that support the settlement process in the Tri-Cities area to work collaboratively to explore interest in community-based planning, including the potential for a community-based funding model.
