A CRITICAL CULTURALLY SAFE LIFELINE
About the Crisis Line.
The Lamathut 24/7 Crisis Line is a First Nations–led, culturally grounded support service operated by the Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS). Rooted in Indigenous ways of care, Lamathut provides confidential, barrier‑free support to Residential School Survivors, intergenerational Survivors, and First Nations individuals and families experiencing crisis, trauma, grief, and gender‑based violence—any time, day or night.

What the Crisis Line Provides.
The Lamathut Crisis Line is staffed by highly trained Indigenous counsellors and telehealth workers who understand the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism, intergenerational trauma, and gender-based violence. Services include:
⟡ Crisis intervention and emotional support
⟡ Grounding and de-escalation during
acute distress
⟡ Safety planning and advocacy for those
experiencing GBV
⟡ Referrals to culturally relevant and community-
based services
All services are confidential, judgment-free, free of charge, and barrier-free. To ensure safety and accessibility, callers are not required to disclose personal information such as Nation, age, gender, or location.
A SAFER PLACE TO TURN
Support for Those Impacted by Gender-Based Violence
First Nations women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people experience disproportionate levels of gender‑based violence and face ongoing barriers to accessing help. For many, the Lamathut Crisis Line is the only place they feel safe enough to reach out.
