The Director of 2-1-1 Manitoba, Daniel Leonard, has more.

“2-1-1 is a phone line, it is a website, you just pick up your phone and dial 2-1-1. You will get to one of our trained service navigators and you say “I’m struggling with my mental health, I’m struggling to find food or I’m trying to navigate this government program and I don’t understand it.” We can help you to get the information you need or to find a program that will assist you.”  

Leonard says that since the service began, they have had over 45-thousand phone calls or approximately 1300 phones calls per month.

To access the service just dial 2-1-1 on your phone or go to their website at mb.2-1-1.ca.
