Mayor Olivia Chow to launch the Toronto Community Crisis Service city-wide

Mayor Olivia Chow will be joined by City of Toronto staff and community partners to officially launch the Toronto
Community Crisis Service (TCCS) as a city-wide service.

Date: Thursday, September 26

The TCCS is the City of Toronto’s newest and fourth emergency response service, providing free, confidential, in-person mental health support from mobile crisis teams to Toronto residents 16 years of age or older 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Launched as a pilot in early 2022, the service provides a model of mental health and addiction crisis response that is community-based, client-centred and trauma-informed. More information on TCCS is available at: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/public-safety-alerts/community-safety-programs/toronto-community-crisis-service/ .

Toronto is home to more than three million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture, innovation and climate action, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.
