@kaydenpat this is dangerous misinformation. Please consider removing it:

No evidence Canada is making its national suicide hotline available to US citizens

The claim followed revelations that the Trump admin planned to eliminate specialized services for suicide prevention among LGBTQ+ youth.

@kaydenpat "no official announcement from Canada has confirmed this. Despite being unverified, the posts continue spreading rapidly across social media platforms."

Things like this should not be posted without verification.

This is the Canadian government's official crisis hotline page: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/suicide-prevention-2024-progress-report.html

Suicide Prevention: 2024 Progress Report - Canada.ca

Progress report on suicide prevention following the release of the National Suicide Prevention Action Plan and the Federal Framework for Suicide Prevention.

@kaydenpat this is misinformation and an attempt to flood Trans lifeline

That's not a hotline from Canada. It's a hotline *for* Canada. It's the Canadian number of the the Trans Lifeline organization, which you can see here: https://translifeline.org/resources/community-based-crisis-support/

They have a separate number for US trans people: 1-877-565-8860
