Hi there! My name is Grace and i am part of the Wiki team. I am currently trying to build up a database of hotlines, chatlines and resources for both listeners and members. I am looking for resources from every country of the world for many different topics. See here

In order for the database of resources to be current we are looking for up to date resources that the 7 cups community use.

One of the topics on the Wiki is Disabilities/ Learning disabilities I am wondering if anyone has any useful websites, hotlines or resources that they could share for me to add for this category or any other category?

Please feel free to message me or leave a comment here!

Thank you, Grace smiley

Symptom Checker - Multiple health care systems have something like this available on their websites so people may check their symptoms to determine what they need to do regarding care.

Provincial health care lines - Provides information about the provincial health care system, can direct to programs. If questions about symptoms, nurses are available 24/7 to answer questions and direct one to the proper level of care (apparently, I've gotten dangerous advice in the past).
