We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy:)
For the purpose of finding community-led solutions to effectually respond to and address crisis situations, to support mutual aid efforts in our GTA neighbourhoods and, especially, to meaningfully and practically engage in actions towards Collective Autonomy, we are compiling and sharing these resources in the hopes they might be helpful to anyone who is part of a community led initiative, anyone doing activist work and/or anyone who would like to have access to materials and resources around alternatives to calling the police in the GTA.

We began compiling this doc in August 2020, a couple years before 211 was a thing, and it is by no means exhaustive. It is essential that we connect with the appropriate people on the ground in each respective field to ensure that this resource authentically and comprehensively reflects trusted services and supports available, both for immediate needs and longer term needs.
Any resources we have added to date that are problematic, please inform us! If you or your org prefer NOT to be included please let us know! We want this resource to connect people with safe, trusted supports and organisations.
Although this is a GTA-based resource, we have gathered material from resources around the world to inform the knowledge-based, educational categories as much of this information is universal by nature, ie. harm reduction principles/methodologies, de-escalation training, activist toolkits, etc.
There is still so much more to add and this is where we need your help! We encourage you to add to this resource with info about any orgs, initiatives, and services you feel should be included.
