The Windsor-Essex Counselling Support Line (WECSL) is available to provide timely, safe and responsive telephone counselling support to people who are having difficulty coping effectively at this time. The confidential support line is available to everyone in Windsor and Essex County, including individuals, couples, seniors and families.

Talking with a counsellor can help you reduce your feelings of sadness, anger, fear and anxiety that have developed as a result of, or been intensified by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The Support Line can also help you learn new coping skills to manage these feelings.
