Help Line Available To Aboriginal Women

The Ontario Native Women's Association is helping remote first nation communities feel more connected to large urban centres.

Coordinator Robin Haliuk says they've opened a new help line called Talk 4 Healing.

It's will be a 24-hour, 7-day a week service to assist aboriginal women in access services through referrals, telephone counselling or just having a friendly voice at the other end of the line.

Haliuk says often first nation women can feel isolated and the help line can offer assistance.
