Primary Care Alberta is highlighting a free phone service connecting First Nations, Métis and Inuit callers with culturally grounded health support.
Why it matters
The line gives First Nations, Métis and Inuit Albertans a dedicated, culturally informed path to health and social supports.
Primary Care Alberta is reminding residents that its Indigenous Support Line remains available, offering culturally-grounded care to First Nations, Métis and Inuit callers across the province. The free telephone service operates Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and can be reached at 1-844-944-4744 or through 811.
Callers are connected with Indigenous Listeners who provide confidential, culturally informed guidance, whether they need help navigating the health care system, addressing concerns, linking with cultural supports, or finding assistance for mental health and addiction issues.
The service also offers translation in 23 Indigenous languages, aimed at reducing barriers so more Albertans can access the care they need. Primary Care Alberta describes the line as part of its commitment to reconciliation. More information is available at primarycarealberta.ca/isl.
